(AP / Worthy News)– The leaders of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan on Thursday created an economic union that intends to boost cooperation between the ex-Soviet neighbors, a pact which was at the source of the crisis in Ukraine.
“We are creating a powerful and attractive center of economic development, a major regional market bringing together over 170 million people,” Putin said during talks in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana. He added that the pact would allow the countries to exploit their economic potential and strengthen their positions in global markets.
