Why does this matter? China gets more than 50% discount on LNG imports from Russia is a massive sign of Russian desperation and China putting the screws to them.

Russia isn't doing this because they really like China. This shows they have no leverage or options at this point. The big picture of money coming in for Russia greatly affects their warfighting capability. This type of agreement is worth paying attention to.

I don't think Ukraine is incentivized to run dangerous missions in Siberia to stop Russia from selling natural gas at a massive loss.

I'm not suggesting they should. I'm saying the fact Russia HAS to do this to get any income and kiss China's ass screams of their massive weakness.
