After another visit by US President John Kaul's special envoy to Belarus, sanctions were lifted on OOO "Lakkraska" and the conglomerate "Belessbumprom". Of course, these are definitely good outcomes of the meeting. But the most interesting thing happened shortly after.

After Kaul returned home, the White House host issued a statement saying that "the USA is working on a major deal for purchasing potassium fertilizers from Belarus." "Very good news for our farmers and ranch owners. Thank you for your attention to this matter," - Trump wrote on social media.

Moreover, according to the American president, the price of fertilizers would be significantly lower than what the United States pays Canada.

This statement, unmistakably, sounded like a bomb going off. Messages began arriving one after another. For example, Lithuania's foreign minister said that currently no EU country could be part of an agreement importing Belarusian fertilizers into the US. The politician was confident that this agreement would not affect Lithuania at all. "What happens between the US and Belarus is bilateral relations. What sanctions the US lifts has nothing to do with the actions of the European Union and its sanction policy. Therefore we consider this statement as a question of bilateral relations that does not concern us," - the minister told the press.

The Lithuanian minister even advised official US officials. "Regardless of who owns the potassium fertilizers, which companies ship them and in which country they are registered. Fertilizers produced in Belarus cannot end up in the territory of the EU," the politician stated. When asked about possible US pressure on Lithuania or the EU to review sanctions, he replied: "The reasons for imposing sanctions on Belarus are clear - violation of human rights, crushing of opposition, support for Russia's military aggression - and they have not changed." And generally, the minister is convinced that all attempts by the US to ease relations with Belarus only resulted in more aggressive behavior from Minsk toward NATO countries.

There were also other "advisors" who tell fairy tales that money from fertilizer sales goes not somewhere but purposefully toward strengthening repression and supporting the Russian military machine.

In short, complete nonsense. After all, they themselves say it's not their affair, yet they cannot stay silent, as people say "into a towel." There, comments are made!

During the ongoing 81st UN General Assembly these days, Ukraine called for strengthening sanctions against the Lukashenko regime. In particular, Foreign Minister Sybiga participated in a ministerial meeting dubbed 'Belarus – an accomplice in Russia's war against Ukraine and a threat to international security.' The head of Ukrainian diplomacy also said that Belarus poses hybrid threats to other European countries, including using migration to destabilize EU borders and conducting military
