Russia has held discussions for years about the construction of the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, which would bring 50 billion cubic meters of gas annually from northern Russia to China via Mongolia. However, the Mongolian government's 2024-2028 national development plan leaves out the ambitious project, the South China Morning Post reported on Monday.

A former official at the National Security Council of Mongolia told the newspaper that the pipeline project will likely be delayed.

"We are entering a long pause, where Moscow no longer believes it can get the deal it wishes from Beijing and will probably park the project until better times," Munkhnaran Bayarlkhagva said.

What better times? They'll be competing with more solar and wind every year (also fewer people).
