Russia and China have signed a legally binding memorandum to build the 2,600-kilometer Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, which will transport 50 billion cubic meters of gas annually from Russia's Yamal fields to China via Mongolia. Key issues like pricing, financing, and delivery timelines remain unresolved, with China seeking lower prices and Russia aiming for higher rates.
