If Cat Kellogo meets with President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, he will become the highest US official who will visit the state in recent years.
The exact agenda of the meeting is unknown, although Kellogg in private conversations called this trip a step that could help start peace talks aimed at ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, two sources that wished to remain anonymous.

The State Department and Embassy of Belarus in Washington abandoned comments. The White House did not answer the comments queries.
Planning such trips requires careful negotiations, and it is possible that the trip can be canceled or changed at the last moment.
In 2020, during the first term Donald Trump, Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, visited Belarus, which then became a visit to the US at the highest level to the Eastern European country over the last 20 years. The trip was part of the campaign of the first Trump administration aimed at improving relations with Belarus at a time when the relations between Minsk and Moscow were at the lowest point.
Trump’s successor, President-Democrat Joe Biden, changed the course after the Belarusian elections in 2020, which international observers were condemned as they were not free and unjust. After the elections, massive protests were severely suppressed.
