# Lithuania backs Belarus fertiliser sanctions, says Politico report is outdated

> Lithuania's presidential national security adviser said Vilnius still supports extending EU sanctions on Belarusian fertilisers, which restrict transit through Klaipėda. He dismissed a Politico report of US pressure to reopen the route as dating from several months earlier. The sanctions extension is due for consideration at the end of February.

## Why it matters

Keeping the Klaipėda transit route closed limits Belarusian potash exports, keeping potash supply tighter and supporting fertiliser prices; a reopening would be a bearish shift for potash costs that feed into livestock feed margins.
