Russia is moving forward with a major gas pipeline project to China, called Soyuz Vostok or Power of Siberia 2. The pipeline will transport up to 50 billion cubic meters of gas annually across a 598-mile stretch that crosses Mongolia.

This development comes as Western sanctions on Russia increase, pushing the country to strengthen its energy ties with the East. The pipeline is a key part of deepening the energy partnership between Moscow and Beijing, following a 30-year agreement signed in 2014.

Key Features:

1.42-meter-wide pipelines

Five main compressor stations

Designed to redirect gas initially destined for Europe to China.

Strategically, the pipeline will reduce Russia's dependence on Western markets while solidifying its relationship with China, the world's fastest-growing gas consumer. This move represents a significant shift in Russia's energy strategy in response to changing global dynamics. #dinnerwithtrump #Dinerwhitetrump #BTC
