Also Belarus is benefiting mostly from 1) refining Russian oil, which they buy at lower prices, 2) gambling (which is illegal in Russia, so Russians go to Belarus) and 3) reselling European food to Russia to bypass Russian anti-sanctions.
Their economy is quite shitty and simply parasitizing on Russia.

- ernst_klim 7y ago> Non-existent gambling doesn't make it illegal. It's illegal outside special zones which are virtually non-existent. Yes, it's virtually illegal.
- Dolores12 7y agoSpecial zones are inside of Russia. So in fact gambling in Russia is not illegal, it is limited to special zones.
