According to a member of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation and chairman of the parliamentary caucus of ukraine's "Servants of the People" party, Arahamiya, in an interview on April 2 local time, Russia has "verbally accepted other provisions in addition to the Crimean issue" for the draft proposed by Ukraine in Istanbul. However, this claim has not yet been confirmed by the Russian side.
Ukrainian negotiators hinted that the Ukrainian-Russian president may meet
Arahamia said that the Ukrainian side is waiting for the Russian side to make a final written confirmation.
According to him, the Russian side believes that the draft document is perfect enough to "be used as a direct consultation between Ukrainian President Zelenskiy and Russian President Vladimir Putin", and the meeting between the two is very likely to be held in Istanbul.

Allahamia also stressed that If any document stipulates that Russia has veto power, then Ukraine will not sign the document. When Ukraine's security is guaranteed, a referendum will be held to decide whether to amend the provisions of the Ukrainian Constitution on non-aligned neutrality; if the referendum supports Ukraine's continued membership in NATO, Ukraine will hold new negotiations with Russia.
Russia and Ukraine hold a new round of face-to-face talks in Istanbul on March 29. The Russian side promised to drastically reduce military operations in the direction of Kiev and Chernihiv, the capital of Ukraine, while the Ukrainian side proposed to establish a neutral position under international security guarantees.

Mizintsev said at a briefing on April 2 that more than 60 foreign ships remained stranded in Ukrainian ports. Mines and shelling facilities in its waters and territorial waters prevented ships from leaving the port safely. He also said the International Maritime Organization and shipowners' management should call on the Ukrainian government to take measures to ensure the safety of foreign vessels leaving the port.
On March 31, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said the Ukrainian Navy had placed 420 anchor mines in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea between February 25 and March 4.

Peskov said that only when Europeans wake up from the "ecstasy soup" poured by the United States and finally understand that they should care about the fate of the European continent and even Eurasia, it is the time for Europe to reassess European relations and enter into a state of dialogue with Russia.
Peskov said modern Ukraine is complex and hostile to Russia. Russia wants Ukraine to ban ultra-nationalist ideas and restore the status of the Russian language.
"The Russian-Ukrainian negotiations have not been easy to carry out, and what is important is to continue"
Peskov said Russia had hoped to continue negotiations with Ukraine in Belarus, but the Ukrainian side opposed it. The Russian-Ukrainian negotiations were not easy to carry out, but it was important that the negotiations could continue and that the military operations were brought to an end through negotiations, so it did not matter where the venue for the negotiations was.
"Ukraine's military potential has been destroyed"
Peskov said the current process of demilitarization of Ukraine is continuing, and in Russia's special military operations, "Ukraine's military potential has been largely destroyed."
"Evidence shows that there is a network of biological laboratories around Russia"
Peskov also noted that Russia has evidence that "a network of biological laboratories has been established around Russia, which are conducting research on new types of biological weapons."
"NATO is a threatening organization"
Speaking to NATO, Peskov said nato itself is a threatening organization and that the Western double standard "has existed, existed and will continue to be." Russia and Belarus had to deal with them, so patience and persistence were needed.
Peskov also stressed that when Belarus is attacked, it will be regarded as an attack on Russia, and the Russian side will not hesitate to give Belarus military assistance.
