OpsLensWider Europe Briefing: More Russia Sanctions But Will Belarus Potash Restrictions Be Dropped?
In this week's briefing, RFE/RL Europe Editor Rikard Jozwiak drills down on two issues: more EU sanctions on Russia, and the US pressuring EU countries to allow Belarusian potash exports.
US asks Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine to allow Belarusian fertiliser exports
US officials have proposed that Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine lift sanctions on Belarusian potash to allow the transit of the agricultural product – a major source of hard currency revenue for Minsk – through their territories.
After announcing that United States (US) officials had proposed to Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine to lift sanctions on Belarusian potash fertilizers, Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys confirmed that discussions are underway with Washington on the subject. However, the Lithuanian foreign minister stressed that there are currently no reasons to review the sanctions on Belarusian fertilizers adopted at the European level and in force.
Proposals to ease sanctions against Belarus 'have no right to life', Foreign Minister says
Ukraine considers it impossible to ease sanctions against the Belarusian producer of potash fertilizers “Beloruskaly” and insists on the need to strengthen sanctions pressure.
