Ex-adviser of Zelensky & member of Ukrainian delegation at peace talks in spring 2022 says that this was "most profitable draft of agreement" Ukraine could have, Arestovich says that
it was "completely successful negotiation" & Ukrainian delegation even opened bottle of champaign. He claims that he does not know why this peace deal was scrapped.

But self-proclaimed experts & fake news peddlers label as "conspiracy theory" & "Kremlin disinformation" peace deal framework agreement that was confirmed by head of Ukrainian delegation, officials close to Zelensky, ex-Israeli PM, ex-German chancellor, Turkish FM, former senior US officials, ex-adviser of Zelensky & member of Ukrainian delegation at peace talks. First five suggested that deal was blocked by US/UK. But these self-proclaimed experts & fake news peddlers resort to primitive fraud to deny this.

Arestovich also says that "the Istanbul agreement was a protocol of intentions and was completely/90% prepared for a direct meeting of Putin and Zelensky. The size of the Ukrainian forces in peacetime remained only issue to decide & Zelensky told them that he could decide this question directly with Putin during their meeting.
