I don't recall the sspx saying that the consecration of Russia done by Pope Francis was valid. The sspx priests that I know say it was not! If their position was that it was valid, why on earth would the consecrate more bishops.

https://onepeterfive.com/sspx-pope-consecrate-russia-lefebvre-anniversary/The Priestly Society of Saint Pius X has learned with joy of the announcement of the consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, scheduled for March 25th.
Though the SSPX was not directly invited by Rome to participate in the act of consecration, it was an event that was an answer to decades of prayers for the clergy and the faithful. For the SSPX, no invitation was necessary to join in what should be considered an historic day, regardless of the outcome.
“We have not been invited, but we definitely want to be part of this,” His Excellency, Bishop Bernard Fellay, said in his remarks before the act of consecration.
“We have many reasons to celebrate today. It seems as if our prayer to heaven for decades asking the Immaculate Heart of Mary that the pope would consecrate Russia according to the requirements of herself,” said Fellay, “well, it seems that this is going to happen today. And so, with all our heart, we want to unite ourselves to this act, expecting so many good fruits that have been promised.”
Before the act of consecration, His Excellency recalled the background of Our Lady’s request, reminding the faithful that “God had put into Her hands the peace of the nations.”
Fellay continued,
Quote We see that there have been many attempts to make this consecration. What we have seen is that up to now, the precise requirements from Heaven have never been completely accomplished. But Heaven in its mercy has always given, we could say, a proportionate answer. Every time a pope has turned to the Immaculate Heart, some good has happened for the world and for the Church. So let us pray that this consecration made today will have the fruits so long expected.

SSPX had read the official text before hand, promoted it, and was happy to join.
On the 25 March, the same day of the "Consecration" Fr. Pagliarani had a cordial meeting with the Pope.
Obviously, Russia is not converted, and the Triumph of our Lady is still somewhere on the horizon...
