Russia is building a massive, 50 billion cubic meter gas pipeline to China
As Western nations pull back, Russia is shifting its focus eastward, pursuing a major new gas pipeline project with China.
Facing increased sanctions from the West, Russia is intensifying its eastward energy strategy by pushing forward with plans for this extensive pipeline.
Known as Soyuz Vostok or Power of Siberia 2, the pipeline is designed to transport up to 50 billion cubic meters of gas each year through a 598-mile section crossing Mongolia.
This move follows Europe’s retreat from Russian energy after the Ukraine invasion, driving Gazprom, Russia’s energy giant, to explore new markets for its abundant natural gas reserves.
