"we won't let you transfer dollars"

"Ok I'll pay in rubles"

"No"

"Ok then"

"Hey you can't not pay us!"

"I tried to, in rubles"

"No, use dollars"

"You won't let me"

Yeah pretty sure that's not how a default works in legal terms. Seems to me that it's western banks defaulting by failing to pay out the assets that they hold for Russia.
