Mongolia is heavily dependent on China for fuel and electricity and Russia for investment in its mining industry. Russia has been in talks for years about building a pipeline to carry 50 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas a year from its Yamal region to China via Mongolia. The project, Power of Siberia 2, is part of Russia’s strategy to compensate for the loss of most of its gas sales in Europe since the start of the Ukraine war. It is the planned successor to an existing pipeline of the same name which already supplies Russian gas to China and is due to reach its planned capacity of 38 bcm per year in 2025. The new venture has long been bogged down over key issues such as the pricing of the gas. However, ****** said on the eve of his visit that preparatory work, including feasibility and engineering studies, were proceeding as scheduled. The ICC has accused ****** of being responsible for the abductions of children from Ukraine, where the fighting has raged for two and a half years. ****** and the Mongolian leader on Tuesday are to attend a ceremony marking the 1939 victory of ******* and Mongolian troops over the ********* army that had taken control of Manchuria in northeastern China. Thousands of soldiers ***** in months of fighting in a dispute over where the border was between Manchuria and Mongolia. Although ****** has faced international isolation over the invasion of Ukraine, he visited North Korea and Vietnam last month and has also visited China twice in the past year. He joined a meeting in Johannesburg by video link last year after the South ******** government lobbied against him showing up for the BRICS summit.
