The rubles are exchanged for gas and oil from Russia. But Germany being forced to buy rubles means that isn't quite such a tiny amount of demand for rubles as before, which means the value of the ruble doesn't coontinue to plumment. Which is good for Russians and Russian companies holding a lot of rubles who find that even foreigners still willing to trade with them don't think their rubles are worth many dollars or Euros any more.
