by London Politica

5 September 2023

In this paper we discuss:

• The Russia-Belarus federation (Union State);
• The purposes of the Union State, and who dominates it;
• The recent tensions between Poland and Belarus, as a by-product of Russia’s war in Ukraine;
• The geo-strategic relevance of the Suwalki gap; and
• The risks of an over-militarisation of this small land corridor in Eastern Europe.
