It's not about the economy, it's about demonstrating the dictator's place.
Since September 2020, the Kremlin has built up a practice of humiliating Lukashenka publicly by sending governors to him. The governors of the Far East, with which Belarus cannot build serious trade relations for logistical reasons, are coming especially often.
This is not about economics, but about demonstrating Lukashenka's place in the Kremlin's system. Putin is clearly showing that he is the master, while Lukashenka is a vassal. In January, not without the help of the Politburo, Lukashenka's trip to China did not take place. In addition, someone obviously asked DPRK to reprimand Lukashenka publicly.
