"Apparently, Washington doesn't trust the old channels of communication and isn't confident that Putin is getting the message the Trump administration wants him to hear. Recently, US Special Presidential Envoy Keith Kellogg explained that the goal of dialogue with the Belarusian authorities is..."ensure an open channel of communication through which our messages can be conveyed to President Putin"Kellogg openly admitted that this, and not the release of political prisoners in Belarus, was initially the main goal of the American envoys visiting Minsk," the article says.

А The publication's sources are in the Ukrainian special services They note that Lukashenko “has repeatedly sent signals that he is open to mediation between the West and Russia and is ready to advise Western politicians in their dialogue with Putin, explaining the words and actions of the Russian president.”

"Most likely, the White House heard one of the signals and decided to pass the information on to Putin through Lukashenko. If Lukashenko is his trusted confidant, then why not use this contact?" a Ukrainian intelligence official explains the Trump administration's motives.

According to him, Moscow is reacting positively to this dialogue between Washington and Minsk, since this is an additional channel of communication not directly connected with Russia.

"This channel is effective: information is not distorted. Overall, the dialogue between Lukashenko and Trump is one element in the process of forming some kind of agreement in the region: the Belarusians represent the interests of the Russians in the context of ending the war," the ZN source believes.
