President instructs Government to implement retaliatory measures against Lithuania if necessary

The impact of Western sanctions on Belarusian enterprises was the topic of the meeting at the Palace of Independence. The President heard the Prime Minister, as well as the CEOs of Belaruskali and the Belarusian Potash Company. The industry is facing unprecedented operational challenges. Official Lithuania has been threatening to stop the transit of our potash fertilizers through its territory for several months now. Minsk is forced to react. Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that if cardinal decisions are made, we will respond to this challenge. At the same time, Belarus is ready to negotiate with partners. Moreover, such a step poses economic threats to the Baltic country itself. The President announced that in the near future he plans to get acquainted with the work of other Belarusian companies under external pressure. Including Belavia air carrier and the petrochemical sector.
