Kellogg: Lukashenko not even junior partner to Putin; US claims success on Belarus prisoners

Former US Special Representative Keith Kellogg characterized Belarusian President Lukashenko as subordinate to Putin, dismissing his status as a junior partner. He also asserted US success in securing release of Belarusian political prisoners. The statement, made at Warsaw Security Forum, signals continued US pressure on Belarus and may reflect policy continuity under a potential new administration.
