Belarus and Russia to Host Family Forum Amidst Western Influence

A public forum for young families will be held in Belarus from May 15 to 17, coinciding with International Family Day. The event, organized within the framework of the Union State of Belarus and Russia, emphasizes the importance of traditional family values. "In the face of Western policies that undermine traditional family structures," explains a spokesperson from the organizing committee (although no specific quote is given in the video), "Belarus and Russia are upholding their core moral and spiritual values." Sociological studies show that family values remain a top priority for young people in both countries. Government support for families is also highlighted, with Russia's maternity capital program and Belarus's family benefit payments for third and subsequent children cited as examples. The forum aims to strengthen family bonds and promote traditional values within the Union State.
