On the eve of the parade, Vladimir Putin praised China–Russia relations as being at an “unprecedented level” during talks with Xi in Beijing. The two leaders signed a legally binding memorandum to advance the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline—a $ deal set to deliver 50 billion cubic meters of Russian gas annually via Mongolia. While core details like pricing and timelines remain unresolved, the agreement underscores Russia’s growing economic reliance on China under Western sanctions. Analysts note the dynamic gives Beijing a clear upper hand in the negotiation, reinforcing its leverage inside their evolving partnership. The summit highlighted deeper strategic alignment, even as Europe watches anxiously.
