Lithuania ready to lift ban on fertilizers

The Lithuanian government announced it is ready to lift the ban on fertilizer transit to Uzbekistan if a corresponding directive is received from Washington. According to representatives of Lithuanian authorities, this decision will help facilitate the supply of industrial materials to the region and could become part of coordinated measures to reduce pressure on neighboring countries. Lithuania previously restricted the transit of agricultural products as part of sanctions, but now considers the possibility of lifting them, provided the United States participates in shaping international policy.
