whats the point of asking demanding rubles for gas

 i understand that due to sanctions they cant use or convert euros but they are valuable elsewhere meanwhile they can print rubles whats the point asking for payment in euros?

If countries are forced to pay in rubles that means they are forced to exchange their currency for rubles. This means that on an international market the demand for rubles rises, and so the ruble becomes more valuable (in theory).
