2013
Belarusian Potash Company dispute
Uralkali's withdrawal from the export joint venture with Belaruskali triggered a major commercial and political dispute. Belarus detained chief executive Vladislav Baumgertner after inviting him to Minsk for talks; he was later extradited to Russia. Uralkali argued that the treatment of its employees was politically motivated.
2012
Environmental pollution allegations
The environmental organization Green Patrol listed Uralkali among Russia's significant polluters and alleged that discharges near the Kama River contained harmful substances above permitted levels. These claims are reported as allegations by the organization rather than as a confirmed judicial finding in the cited material.
