    There’s data available here if you want to see the numbers yourself:
    https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/UKR/ukraine/gdp-gross-domestic-product

    1992 was the start of CSTO.

    Ukraine GDP per capita 1992 = $1418
    Ukraine GDP per capita 2021 = $4828

    Armenia GDP per capita 1992 = $356
    Armenia GDP per capita 2021 = $4967

    Belarus GDP per capita 1992 = $1668
    Belarus GDP per capita 2021 = $7490

    Care to elaborate on your comment in light of this data?

      Cherrypicking data after a huge economic crisis and showing growth. Wow. Incredible. Just as a comparison:

      Poland GDP per Capita 1992: $2459
      Poland GDP per Capita 2021: $17999

      The fact CSTO has a defense clause which Russia has failed to follow through on multiple times? You talk economic growth, cherry picking stats you like, when I’m talking about the core foundation of a defense pact. The defense. Not once has the group actually defended a member state during an armed conflict, specifically the ongoing fight between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

      It is a toothless pact. I’ll let Lord handle your stat nonsense, since that wasn’t the point of me mentioning CSTO.
