U.S. President’s Special Representative for Ukraine Keith Kellogg denied reports circulated by Russian media that during his visit to Belarus he allegedly promised self-proclaimed President Alexander Lukashenko to “work” on stopping Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory.
He wrote about this on the X social network, Ukrinform reports.
Kellogg emphasized that the quote was taken out of context.
“In my conversation with Lukashenko we discussed a full and unconditional cease fire,” the special envoy noted.
He added that “any limitation on Kyiv’s conduct was conditional on reciprocal action by Moscow”.
“At no point did I make comments related to Ukraine’s prosecution of the war outside of a total ceasefire,” Kellogg concluded.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, U.S. Special Representative Keith Kellogg discussed with self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine and the efforts of United States President Donald Trump toward putting it to an end.
