Which one of the following nations is not a member of the Eurasian Economic Union ?

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is an international organization for regional economic integration established by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union in 2014 [2]. The union officially came into force on January 1, 2015, with the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation as its founding members [2]. Shortly thereafter, the Republic of Armenia and the Kyrgyz Republic joined, bringing the total membership to five nations [1]. While Uzbekistan was a former unit of the Soviet Federation and has been invited to join the bloc, it is not a member of the EAEU [3]. Recent reports confirm that Uzbekistan has rejected full membership, opting instead to prioritize its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) while maintaining observer status or delaying integration decisions [1]. Therefore, Uzbekistan is the nation among the options that is not a member.
