He wrote about it on X.

The American official addressed Lukashenko’s claim that Kellogg supposedly promised to work on preventing the Ukrainian Armed Forces from “attacking Russia.”

“This quote is taken out of context. In my conversation with Lukashenko we discussed a full and unconditional cease fire. 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 said.
