Lukashenko-USA Monsoon Deal: Lithuania’s Revelation

“We have received confirmation that it was discussed, and the special envoy publicly said after his return from Minsk that he received a promise to address the issue,” Budris told Lithuanian Public Radio.

“It is expected that the Belarusian side will take appropriate measures and the disruption of our critical infrastructure and civil aviation will be stopped,” said the Lithuanian foreign minister.

He added that if Belarus breaks its promise and undermines US President Donald Trump‘s efforts to resolve problems with Belarus, it will have to face consequences from the US side.

However, he argued that the US decision to lift sanctions on Belarusian fertilizers does not affect European Union sanctions or Lithuania’s decisions on trade with Belarus or the transit of Belarusian goods through Lithuania.

According to reports, Lukashenko has reached an agreement with Trump and pardoned 123 prisoners from different countries who were released on Saturday. In return, the US lifted sanctions on Belarus’ potash fertilizers. Nine of the prisoners were taken to Lithuania, and the rest to Ukraine.

It has already been reported that the balloons launched by cigarette smugglers from Belarus often disrupt the work of the Vilnius airport in recent months, as a result of which the take-off and landing of airplanes are interrupted several times a week.

In connection with this, Lithuania closed the remaining two checkpoints on the border with Belarus at the end of October, but reopened them on November 20. However, the Belarusian regime still does not allow trucks with Lithuanian registration plates to leave the country’s territory.
