Union State Treaty

The Union State Treaty is an agreement between Russia and Belarus aiming to deepen their political, economic, and military integration. It seeks to create a coordinated union with shared governance, closer economic ties, and mutual defense commitments. While it aims to unite certain policies and institutions, it allows both countries to maintain considerable independence. The treaty’s goal is to strengthen cooperation and present a unified front, though its full implementation faces challenges due to differing national interests and sovereignty concerns.
