Lukashenko proposed to allow the United States to the nitrogen project of Gazprom in Belarus

Gazprom will join the construction of a nitrogen plant in Belarus, said President of the Republic Alexander Lukashenko. According to him, he agreed on this with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Lukashenko also suggested that the United States be included in the project.

The President of Belarus raised this issue at a meeting with the Governor of the Ulyanovsk region Alexei Russian. Alexander Lukashenko said that the site for the plant project has already been selected. “The Americans should be offered. They want fertilizer, including nitrogen – please, let’s build it together. No, we will build and sell finished products with Gazprom, the Russians, Lukashenka said.

The US authorities began to ease sanctions against Belarus in 2025. From the sanctions list excluded including a large producer of potash fertilizers “Belaruskali”. In exchange, the Belarusian authorities began to release the prisoners. Last week, US President Donald Trump announced a fertilizer deal with Belarus.
