Abstract	After construction for about eight years, the KEKB accelerator and Belle detector have been upgraded to SuperKEKB and Belle II, respectively. In 2018, at the Phase II of the project, luminosity of 0.55 1034 cm-2s-1 was achieved and 0.5 fb-1 were recorded for a preliminary study. The Phase III of the physics run will start in spring 2019, with the goals to increase luminosity by 40 times to reach 0.8 1036 cm-2s-1 and record 50 ab-1 of data with Belle II. The huge Belle II data sample will be used for searches for New Physics, studies of the SM processes with much higher precision and revelation of the nature of exotic states.
