Tikhonovskaya warns US potash purchase from Belarus may fund repression

Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhonovskaya cautioned that a US purchase of Belarusian potash could channel funds to the Lukashenko regime, potentially supporting repression. The deal, if confirmed, would mark a shift in US policy toward Belarus, which has been under sanctions. The claim is an assertion by an opposition figure, not yet corroborated by official US or Belarusian statements.
