1. Military Integration: This is almost complete. Russia plans to permanently station its troops in Belarus, including the air force, new ground brigades, and possibly strategic units - also in the nuclear field.

2. Economic Integration: Russia and Belarus aim to create common markets for gas, electricity, and labor to unify their economic systems.

3. Political Integration: The Kremlin could create a joint court and parliament as well as a permanent committee of the "Union" of both countries - with far-reaching powers in legislation.

Danger to NATO

Especially alarming is the placement of nuclear weapons in Belarus, which borders the NATO countries of Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. In 2023, Russia stationed tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus after forcing the country to make constitutional changes that lifted its non-nuclear state status. The researchers warn that these developments significantly endanger European security. NATO must prepare for a future in which Belarus no longer acts as an independent state, but as an extended arm of Russia - with potentially devastating consequences for regional stability.
