Not sure where you are, but EU blocks are just at the DNS level. Change your DNS to one that doesn't bother with following EU's silly virtue signaling website bans and you're set.

I've tried it before and it doesn't work where I am. Thinking about it now, maybe I just didn't use the right addresses. Do you have any to recommend?

I host my own with Pihole and Unbound (which I would recommend if you have the technical expertise). Adguard gives you similar functionality on a hosted service (ie. you don't have to set it up yourself).

In terms of which public servers are good, or at least censorship free, I just checked Google, Cloudflare, and Quad9 and they all resolved RT and Sputnik, sites censored by the EU. I'm located in the EU.

Based Unbound. Great DNS software.
