Belarus and Russia Strengthen Family Support with Joint Initiatives MINSK, BELARUS – In a significant move to bolster family values and demographic stability, Belarus and Russia have joined forces to create a comprehensive family support policy. The initiative, funded by the Union State budget, saw the implementation of over 30 joint events for children and youth in 2024. These events focused on fostering creativity, providing educational opportunities, and improving the quality of life for families, particularly those with many children. "The goal is to create a strong foundation for the future," explains Valeriya Timofeeva, a prominent figure in the Union State's social policy sphere. "By investing in our children and youth, we are investing in the future of both Belarus and Russia." The collaborative efforts extend beyond individual events. A joint youth policy concept is currently under development, aiming to create a cohesive legal framework that addresses the shared interests of both nations. This initiative reflects a commitment to strengthening family structures and ensuring demographic sustainability within the Union State. The success of the 2024 events demonstrates a promising start to this significant endeavor.
