It is in collaboration with China; it would not be just Russia as a power in AI.

In a strategic move, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the main Russian bank, Sberbank, to cooperate with China in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This alliance aims to strengthen Russia's position in the global technological race and challenge the dominance of the United States in this field.
Putin's decision was published on the Kremlin's website and focuses on ensuring greater coordination in research and technological development in the field of AI. The CEO of Sberbank, German Gref, acknowledged that graphics processing units (GPUs) are the hardest hardware to replace for Russia, making this alliance even more important.
