Putin told Russian government officials that a number of Western countries made illegitimate decisions on the freezing of the Russian assets, which resulted in a line being crossed over the reliability of their currencies.
The leader of the Kremlin said that it made no sense to give Russian goods to the European Union and the United States in dollars and other foreign currencies.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia would seek payment in roubles for gas sales from unfriendly countries. European countries rely on Russian gas to heat their homes and power their economies, and have been thrown into the spotlight since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine. Putin hit back with a clear message -- if you want our gas, buy our currency.
Putin ordered his government to sort out the ramifications of the move in a week, which could boost the Russian currency and cause other European countries to stop using Moscow for energy supplies. After falling to a record low of 120 in Moscow this month, the rouble rebounded to 105 to the dollar in recent sessions.
