Power of Siberia 2 is Game-Changer for Russia & China, Nigerian Researcher Says
The initiative will bring the two countries together due to a shared interest that helps them “navigate the vagaries of international politics,” Rilwan Omar Massoud of the Ahmadu Bello University told Sputnik Africa.
According to the speaker, the pipeline:
Connects Russia and China directly through a major energy route;
helps Russia bypass Western sanctions by selling gas to China;
ensures steady income for Russia, even as Europe reduces purchases;
strengthens economic ties between two key Eurasian powers;
potentially opens the door for similar pipelines to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and others.
Once completed, Power of Siberia 2 will be the world's largest gas project, according to Russia's Gazprom CEO.
