According to the Belarusian leader, Moscow and Minsk are united in efforts to implement a set of strategic measures aimed at strengthening sovereignty and accelerating the development of the countries.

In conclusion, he expressed confidence that the desire of Russians and Belarusians for unity will serve as an excellent foundation for the construction of a prosperous Union State.
