US officials have reportedly proposed that Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine lift sanctions imposed on Belarusian potash fertilizers and allow their transit through their territories.
According to a one-page unsigned and undated document obtained by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), the proposal references a March decision by the administration of US President Donald Trump to lift sanctions against the Belarusian state-owned fertilizer producer Belaruskali.
The document states that, following the US decision to remove sanctions on Belaruskali, American companies are now interested in purchasing and transporting Belarusian potash fertilizers.
For this to happen,
permission would be required to export the fertilizers through the territories of European Union member states
or Ukraine in order to avoid transit through Russia.
The document also notes that the United States is interested in exploring potential transit routes through Lithuania, Poland, or Ukraine in order to ease the ongoing crisis in the global fertilizer market, and hopes to receive concrete decisions on the matter.
Belaruskali is one of the world’s largest producers of potash fertilizers.
