The Head of State recalled that union programs for deepening Belarusian-Russian integration were recently approved. "This is the future of our union. That is, we want to advance further in the main areas of union formation, to unify the processes taking place in this space," he explained. "In short, this will lead to the existence of two sovereign states within a single economic space."
Alexander Lukashenko noted that the union of Belarus and Russia has an ethnic and economic basis. In addition, the countries pursue a common foreign policy, and a common defense space has been created, which is effectively a single army.
"We have made very serious progress in granting equal rights to citizens of Belarus and Russia. There is practically no difference between Russians and Belarusians in education, healthcare, or the humanitarian and cultural spheres. We have created equal conditions for our citizens," the President emphasized.
