🌏 POWER OF SIBERIA 2: Warning to West, beacon for Global South

Russia, China, and Mongolia have inked a legally binding memo to build the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline.

💥 Here's why this is a MAJOR BLOW for Europe:

🟠 The new pipeline will connect Western Siberia’s gas fields to China via Mongolia, tapping fields once supplying Europe. Supported by the Soyuz Vostok transit line, it will have a capacity of 50 billion cubic meters per year.

🟠 For Russia, "it is important to increase its exports of gas and to compensate for the loss of the European market," international affairs analyst Gilbert Doctorow tells Sputnik.

🟠 With US-China tensions and Western control over chokepoints for supplies of liquified natural gas (LNG) from the Middle East, it makes sense for China to strike a deal with Russia to secure more pipeline gas.

"This project sends a signal to the West that China is not abandoning energy cooperation with Russia, especially at a time when the US is urging punishment of Russia’s trading partners," Russia’s National Energy Security Fund expert Stanislav Mitrakhovich says.

🟠 This cooperation sends a signal to the Global South that major countries, such as India, China and Russia, can reach agreements without regard for the West — even under Western pressure. Symbolically, this shows the Global South’s sovereignty and strength.
