Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko met with U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg in Minsk.

That is according to Belarusian state news agency BELTA, citing Lukashenko’s press service, as reported by Ukrinform.

The meeting took place at the Palace of Independence with members of both delegations present. The agenda reportedly included global and regional developments, as well as Belarusian-American relations.

In a video released by state media, Kellogg remarked that the world was facing a very dangerous time, warning that ongoing crises could escalate rapidly if not approached with wisdom and fairness. Lukashenko, in turn, assured Kellogg of “complete security” in Belarus and pledged that “there will be no escalation not only in Belarus but also around us.”
