Foreign Policy
Belarus' foreign policy is almost entirely subordinated to Russia, though Lukashenko has historically tried to maintain some maneuverability between Moscow and the West. The 2020 crisis and Ukraine war eliminated any remaining balance -- Belarus is now effectively a Russian satellite state diplomatically and militarily.
Belarus remains a member of the CIS, CSTO, and the Union State with Russia, and maintains some engagement with China and Global South countries.
