> Lithuania's transport minister said fertilizer shipments from Belaruskali will stop moving through Lithuania from December, when the US sanctions take effect. Fertilizers subject to sanctions make up about a third of freight for Lithuanian Railways and the Klaipeda seaport. He added that potash prices could rise by €80 per ton once the sanctions apply.
