> gas supplies in question were not covered by sanctions, but Russia tried to unilaterally switch to being paid in roubles

I don’t think this is a very honest characterization:

Russia demanded payment on their terms only after they were kicked out of SWIFT and their reserves frozen by foreign banks.

I don’t think I’d describe that change in payment terms in response to bank sanctions as “unilateral” or unrelated to sanctions.
