Russia Deepens Energy Ties With China Amid Ukraine Conflict
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Russia has expanded its energy cooperation with China since the outbreak of the Ukraine war, increasing the volume of oil and gas shipments to the Asian giant.
The Kremlin has signed new contracts that see more Russian crude and liquefied natural gas (LNG) delivered to Chinese refineries and storage facilities, according to officials. The agreements include higher quotas and longer-term pricing arrangements that bypass Western sanctions.
The move reflects Russia’s strategy to secure alternative markets for its hydrocarbons after Western countries tightened restrictions on Russian energy exports following the conflict in Ukraine.
