21:21 Arestovich said that Putin's plans have completely failed, Russia is afraid to involve Belarusians in the "special operation", as they will go over to the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He also said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already liberating the Sumy region, part of the Kharkov and Kiev regions. "Russian columns are leaving from there. This is a failure for them," the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office added.

As it means, at a minimum, the return of the topic of Crimea to the negotiating agenda. Before that, the Russians categorically refused this. "And besides, it allows us to preserve the current legal interpretations of Crimea, since for us Crimea is, of course, part of Ukraine. Refusal of mutual military escalation on the Crimean issue is the key to a general cessation of the war."

20:35 Podolyak said that Ukraine looks strong as an initiator of the reform of the global security architecture. Kyiv also receives guarantees of mandatory entry into the single market of the European Union as a full member. "What is extremely important - both in terms of financing large-scale programs for the modernization of the economy, and in terms of abandoning excessive bureaucratic procedures on the way to join the EU," he specified.

The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office also explained that the presence of Russia, along with the United States, Great Britain, Turkey, Germany and other countries, as a signatory of the multilateral agreement "imposes many additional burdens on the Russians and allows us not to go for a complicated bilateral format."

If we manage to consolidate these key provisions , then Ukraine will be in a position to fix its current status of a non-bloc and non-nuclear power in the form of permanent neutrality."
