US Presidential Special Representative for Ukraine Keith Kellogg plans to visit Belarus to meet with President Alexander Lukashenko.
This is reported by Reuters, citing its own sources.
As the publication’s interlocutors noted, Kellogg will travel to Belarus amid the lack of progress in ceasefire negotiations in Ukraine.
The exact agenda of the meeting is unknown, although Kellogg has privately described the trip as a step that could help launch a peace negotiation process to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The U.S. State Department and the Belarusian embassy in Washington declined to comment. Kellogg and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
The publication emphasizes that planning such trips requires careful negotiations, so it is possible that it may be canceled or changed at the last moment.
However, if Kellogg meets with Lukashenko, he will become the highest-ranking US official to visit the authoritarian state in recent years.
Recall that Russia has intensified the transfer of military cargo to Belarus by air.
As reported, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko fears that Ukraine will view the presence of Russian troops in the exercises as preparation for an offensive.
