Russian President Putin probably focused on strengthening Russia's economic control over Belarus.
This is reported by ISW.
Thus, during the meeting with Alexander Lukashenko, he emphasized the importance of creating a joint system of indirect taxes, as well as strengthening measures to form common standards for Russian and Belarusian industrial enterprises, as well as the unification of Belarusian and Russian trade legislation.
According to him, Russian and Belarusian officials are focused on import substitution measures. The countries are also continuing the process of creating a common oil and gas market and are working on the preparation of an agreement on the formation of a single electricity market.
Thus, the Kremlin is probably trying to integrate the Belarusian industrial base into its defense complex as much as possible.
