Leaders of four former Soviet Union republics have firmly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
in a move reminiscent of the former USSR, though authorities have yet to confirm these reports.
"We are building a single Union State on the new principles to ensure that everyone's interests are respected, that the sovereign independent states—Belarus and Russia—keep developing. I am sure that this union will attract other republics of the former Soviet Union," BelTA quoted Lukashenko as saying during a meeting with Governor of Russia's Voronezh Oblast Aleksandr Gusev in Minsk on Thursday.
The Soviet Union was established in December 1922 and eventually grew to encompass 15 nations: Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, according to History.com. Leaders of four former Soviet Union nations have firmly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, making it unlikely that they would be willing to join a new iteration of the USSR.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko reportedly have plans to strengthen their"Union State" and are looking to attract other former members of the dissolved Soviet Union.
