Abstract
The study analyzes the current state of Belarusian-Russian integration in 2020–2025. The author shows that under the influence of the political crisis in Belarus and Western sanctions pressure, Union building has moved from the phase of declarations to the stage of practical implementation. The greatest progress has been achieved in the military-strategic and economic spheres, where the basis of a single defense and market space has been created. Integration has acquired a forced pragmatic character and has become a tool for survival and security, rather than an ideological unification, which determines its further evolution.
