Vladimir Putin first announced that Russia and Belarus are planning to cancel roaming in May of this year at a press conference following negotiations with Alexander Lukashenko. “Mobile communications for all subscribers in the two countries will be fully provided in home network mode,” Putin said.
The Union State was created in December 1999. One of its goals was “to create a single economic space.” Lukashenko’s website says that the partnership between the two countries is built on the principle of preserving the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and Belarus.
