🇷🇺🇧🇾 On December 8, 1999, Russia and Belarus signed the Treaty Establishing the Union State. This event ushered in a new stage in uniting our nations on the basis of principles of sovereign equality, voluntary and conscientious fulfilment of mutual obligations. The Republic of Belarus is Russia’s closest ally and strategic partner. Our countries are linked by long-time traditions of friendship and mutual assistance, cultural and spiritual similarity, a common historical past and prospects for the future. Allied relations between Moscow and Minsk are the benchmark of mutually beneficial integration collaboration. Over the years of expanding unification processes in the most diverse fields, the Union State has evolved into one of the most advanced and ambitious integration projects in Eurasia. Our nations have made serious headway in establishing a common socioeconomic, transport, logistics, cultural, humanitarian, migration and information space. The Union State continues to steadily strengthen its financial, economic, scientific and technical sovereignty. A solid foundation of mutual allied obligations to ensure defence, uphold the sovereignty, independence and constitutional system of Russia and Belarus, their territorial integrity and inviolability, and the inviolability of the external border (using all available forces and resources) has been laid. On December 6, 2024, the meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State approved the Security Concept of the Union State. President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko signed a number of important landmark documents, including those on security guarantees within the framework of the Union State, on the sidelines of the meeting. 📄 Excerpts from the Joint Statement by the President of the Russian Federation and the President of the Republic of Belarus (March 13, 2025): The Parties will continue to build up joint efforts to effectively respond to modern challenges and threats in order to strengthen the security of Russia and Belarus within the common defense space of the Union State. In accordance with bilateral programmes of agreed-upon foreign policy activities, Russian and Belarusian diplomats closely coordinate their approaches and provide mutual support at multilateral platforms and voice identical or similar positions on virtually all matters at the UN and other international organisations. Within the framework of annual joint meetings of Russian and Belarusian Foreign Ministries’ Collegiums, the Parties chart common approaches in various spheres of foreign policy interaction. The latest meeting was held in Moscow on November 25, 2025. 🤝 Our countries voice identical positions on virtually all key contemporary issues. Against the backdrop of unprecedented external pressure, our countries collaborate closely on the global stage, invariably providing genuine allied support to each other. 💬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Russia and Belarus actively cooperate across a variety of fields, coordinating their efforts in international affairs and consistently improving the Union State institutions. I am confident that by acting together, we will overcome any challenges and further strengthen productive bilateral ties for the benefit of the Russian and Belarusian people, in the interests of ensuring stability and security in Eurasia. 🎊 We congratulate our colleagues and the fraternal people of Belarus on our common holiday! We wish them wellbeing and prosperity! #RussiaBelarus#UnionState

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’sopening remarks at talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov(Moscow, June 10, 2025) 💬 Mr Ryzhenkov, Colleagues, Friends, We are glad to welcome the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus on his first official visit to the Russian Federation. We value the relationship between our countries, a relationship based on alliance, strategic partnership, good-neighbourliness, and mutual trust. The unique nature of our bilateral relations was once again reaffirmed during our joint celebrations of the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The Presidents of Russia and the Republic of Belarus, alongside other world leaders, participated in the Victory Parade on Red Square. Symbolically, Russian and Belarusian military personnel marched ceremoniously shoulder to shoulder in Moscow and Minsk. Joint processions were held in various cities of the Union State as part of the Belarus Remembers and Immortal Regiment events. ☝️ The dialogue between the two heads of state outlines the strategic course in all areas of cooperation, providing the essential momentum and guidance. It calls on all of us, as agencies responsible for implementing foreign policy objectives, to maintain regular contacts and develop a creative approach towards devising a tactical line. Yesterday, we discussed a number of related issues. Today, we will certainly continue our discussion. Efforts by President Vladimir Putin and President Alexander Lukashenko set an example of importance of maintaining regular contacts. The scale and quality of our bilateral relations, as well as the challenges that arise as we seek to promote these relations, are such that a dialogue is needed on a regular basis. I recall our meeting in Brest last November, when we held a joint Board meeting. This year, it is our turn to provide a platform for this joint event. Today, we will also discuss preparations for it. Our inter-parliamentary and interregional dialogue continues to develop. This June, the Nizhny Novgorod Region will host the 12th Forum of Regions of Russia and Belarus on the theme “The Youth of Belarus and Russia as Heirs to the Great Victory and the Future of the Union State.” We will also witness the grand inauguration of your Consulate General in Nizhny Novgorod, a symbolic event in its own right. We are expanding the number of our diplomatic missions in each other's territory. Our cultural, humanitarian, and spiritual ties play a vital role in reinforcing the foundation that unites our peoples. The recent visit by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia to the Republic of Belarus served as yet another confirmation of this fact. International issues are always part of our agenda. Yesterday, during our informal discussion, we also touched upon them. This includes matters related to our immediate environment, cooperation within the EAEU, CSTO and CIS, as well as activities at international venues, such as the UN and OSCE. 🌐 I want to highlight a new initiative put forward by Belarus, which Russia has strongly supported. I am referring to Eurasian security and the establishment of a regular annual dialogue on this crucial subject. Together with you, we are promoting a document that could serve as a foundation for further collective efforts. At this stage, we will actively uphold the need for precisely this approach to Eurasian security, an approach based on the recognition of equal and indivisible security for any state. There is much to discuss, and I am pleased to see you. #RussiaBelarus #UnionState

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarus Sergey Aleinik on the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus 💬 Please accept my heartfelt greetings and best wishes on our shared holiday – the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus. No heinous terrorist attacks can intimidate or break the spirit of Russians and Belarusians. On this day, we remember and mourn the victims of Nazi henchmen who lost their lives at Khatyn and Krasnogorsk. These shared tragedies only bring us closer together and strengthen our resolve to put an end to the evil stemming from the man-hating ideologies of neo-Nazism and religious extremism. I am confident that together we will successfully cope with the serious threats and challenges posed by the collective West and its Ukrainian puppets and ensure the safety and prosperity of all Russians and Belarusians. I look forward to the continuation of our traditionally close international coordination between our foreign ministries in line with the Programme of Coordinated Actions for 2024-2026. We remain committed to providing diplomatic support for our multifaceted bilateral cooperation and intense integration processes within the framework of the Union State, the #EAEU, the #CSTO, and the #CIS. 🤝 On this occasion, I would like to wish you good health, happiness, wellbeing and continued professional success. #RussiaBelarus

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at a joint meeting of the Collegiums of the Foreign Ministries of Russia and Belarus (Moscow, November 25, 2025) 💬 Today, we are looking back at the outgoing year, which marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a sacred holiday for Belarusians and Russians. I would like to express my gratitude to our Belarusian allies for their consistently close cooperation and support in all our joint undertakings. Guided by the Programme of Coordinated Actions in Foreign Policy of the States Parties to the Treaty on the Establishment of the Union State for 2024-2026, we have closely cooperated within the framework of our common Eurasian associations, such as (in addition to the Union State) the #CSTO, the #EAEU, the #CIS, and the #SCO, as well as within #BRICS, the #UN, and the #OSCE. In all of these organisations, we act in solidarity on virtually all international issues. We are implementing important joint initiatives, including those aimed at strengthening security and stability in Eurasia. Diplomatic support of large-scale bilateral cooperation and integration processes within the Union State has remained our overriding priority. Undoubtedly, the Union State is a format that sets the tone for interaction across several areas. In accordance with the resolution adopted by the collegiums and instructions issued by the respective heads of state and government, we primarily focused on promoting cooperation within common integration entities, deepening ties among them, and expanding cooperation with the countries from the Global South. Likewise, we focused on coordinating our efforts on international legal issues, among them countering the West’s sanctions aggression, and other areas. <...> We have facilitated the dialogue between the EAEU and the SCO and BRICS, and the coordination of 2026-2030 EEC-ASEAN Cooperation Programme. We have started looking into the possibility of expanding CIS contacts with African organisations and established cooperation between the CSTO Secretariat and the AU Counter Terrorism Centre. As I mentioned earlier, we have jointly promoted on all international venues the initiative advanced by the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, on the development of the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century which aligns with the initiative put forward by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to form a new architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia. <...> We have made significant efforts to expand international support for countering the practice of illegal unilateral sanctions. On the initiative of the Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter, of which Russia and Belarus are members and play an important role, the UN General Assembly adopted, in June, a resolution establishing the International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures. <...> The agenda of today’s meeting is quite extensive. We will begin by discussing issues related to the joint use of humanitarian policy tools, the promotion of traditional values, and the preservation of historical memory. We will then consider matters related to cooperation with friendly states and their associations, as well as our approaches to building relations with the countries whose governments pursue an openly unfriendly policy towards us. This will also include our relations with the organisations that deviate from their own founding principles, do not adhere to impartiality and equal distance, but instead seek to take predominantly pro-Western political positions. We will place special emphasis on sharing experience in foreign policy information support. Following the meeting, we plan to sign a Resolution of the collegiums and a Plan for inter-ministerial consultations for 2026. #RussiaBelarus
