Lithuania's chief national security adviser, Deividas Matulionis, said a Politico report on US pressure to resume transit of Belarusian potash fertilisers was several months old. He said contacts on the issue took place months ago and nothing has happened since.
He added that the EU sanctions should stay in force at least until a February EU review.
Sanctions keeping Belarusian potash off the Lithuanian transit route limit a major source of supply for global potash markets. Officials signalling no near-term change suggests the supply constraint persists, with little immediate price effect.
