Belarus has a complicated relationship with Russia, but it is still helping Russia build a border wall.
Belarus and Russia have had a complicated relationship for decades. Both countries are former Soviet republics, but Belarus has been less willing to cooperate with Russia than some of its other neighbors. That’s why it was surprising when the two countries agreed to work together on the construction of a border wall between their two countries. The new wall will be over 150 miles long and will help to separate the two countries.
The new wall is intended to prevent Belarusian citizens from illegally crossing into Russia. Belarus is considered one of the most corrupt nations in Europe, so many people living there take advantage of this by entering Russia illegally in order to make money or escape prosecution for crimes they committed in Belarus. This leads to an increase in crime rates in Russian cities near the border.
