The announcement alone makes the ruble rise.

Customers in Germany and Europe will in future have to pay their bills for Russian gas deliveries in rubles. He has decided to establish a package of measures to pay in rubles, Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin said today during a televised government meeting. As a result, Russia no longer accepts payments in euros or dollars.

Accordingly, the "unfriendly states" held by Russia on a black list are affected. This includes Germany and all other EU countries, but also the USA, Canada and Great Britain. Putin gave the central bank and the Russian government a week to implement an appropriate payment system.

Good, soon US cannot use sanction as a weapon of war as reliance on dollar is slipping when alternatives currencies emerge. Looks like sanction is back firing on US dollar.......

They need more people to use Ruble so that Ruble will remain valuable and in demand.

yes, they need usd cos they have to pay their debt in usd... but few weeks ago, they also said that they will pay their debt in RUB since their USD and EUR account confiscated by the west... EU now dont mind to be paid in RUB since they can use it to pay for oil and gas... but good luck to USA banks... RUB is q useless for them.....

Bad business decision. Allowing customers to break the contracts, going for other cheaper priced commodities.

If this kind of business transaction is workable,  every country would insist its customers use their currency.   Why should they use a stable currency for transactions?  Really a stupid idea.
