Abstract

EN This research paper explores the evolving military-defensive cooperation between the Russian Federation (RF) and the Republic of Belarus (RB), analyzing its implications for regional security in Eastern Europe. The strategic partnership between these two countries, shaped by historical, political, and economic factors, has deepened in recent years through military integration, joint defense initiatives, and enhanced cooperation under the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). The paper investigates the impact of this cooperation on the security structure established by NATO, with a focus on Belarus’ growing dependence on Russia for economic and military support. It also examines the technological exchange and transfer of military knowledge between Russia and Belarus, which enhances their defense capabilities and strengthens their geopolitical positions. By identifying shared security threats such as NATO expansion, color revolutions, and terrorism, this paper provides insights into the future trajectory of Russia-Belarus relations and the potential consequences for NATO and regional stability. The paper argues that the ongoing military integration between Russia and Belarus will increasingly challenge NATO’s security strategy in Eastern Europe, potentially destabilizing the region and affecting the balance of power between the West and Russia.
