The text of the news says Russia to build crypto mining hub, and it did not say that construction has already begun. Also, by reading the details, we find that a 120-megawatt (MW) data center in Ethiopia was mentioned, and data centers differ from mining centers.
In general, I went to the news link from bitcluster.ru
[1] and found that the construction is supposed to be completed in January 2024, so by the end of this month we should get pictures of the data center. So let's wait and confirm this news.

If the Ethiopia government have enter such agreement I believe they will but not at this set date.
