For sure, and not to venerate Putin (obligatory caveat etc etc) but he’s been calling for something functionally similar with liquid borders between Ukraine and Russia and just recognition that they share much of the same national history.
Lukashenko also called for this last year in January, he was talking something about ‘‘getting Ukraine back’’ and uniting with Russia, Ukraine and even Kazakhstan(idk why Kazakhstan).
Kazakhstan is on the same trajectory back towards a federation state as Belorussia, their membership in the security organization which put down that colour revolution recently was a good indicator.
Nations in the region seem to understand that they’re either going to get enslaved by the west (Armenia seems not too keen on having Azerbajan invading, Georgia is not too keen of becoming a battering ram against Russia again, Kazakhstan is interested in developping its lands, not having jihadists running around beheading people, and no one wants to be the second Ukraine) or unite under a common banner. So currently they’re in the phase of finding acceptable conditions with the gravitational center, that is Russia, for such a union. At least that’s how it seems to me.
I hope that after liberation of Ukraine, there will be unification between whatever is left with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, along with Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Artsakh and maybe Armenia.
Russia, Belarus and Ukraine in one country would be a good start

Kazakhstan is the centerpiece of the Central Asia, and have huge economic potential.
And then Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Artsakh can also join.
The uh, more’s the merrier? 😅
