"We are keeping a large number of troops, 64 thousand Russians in the Kursk direction, 64 thousand of their troops. This is a very serious group that could spread here and attack us from other directions along the entire front line. Therefore, the guys there are simply great," the head of state said.

22:20 President Volodymyr Zelensky announced his readiness to negotiate with the Russian side in any format, but noted the importance of the Russians' readiness for diplomacy.
"I am not afraid of any option or format of negotiations with the Russians. With mediation, without mediation, with the US, with Europe. It is desirable that any negotiations be substantive. How can we talk directly with ballistic missiles? Today, it is simply talking with missiles and terrorists? What is the point of simply talking?" Zelensky said.
According to him, the prerequisite for this must be an unconditional ceasefire.
21.55 Russia has once again violated the terms of the energy truce with Ukraine. The Russians struck the Kherson Thermal Power Plant with an FPV drone. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky during an evening video address.
"Today in Kherson there was a new targeted strike by a Russian FPV drone on an energy facility - the Kherson Thermal Power Plant," the head of state said.
The President believes that such strikes cannot be an accident, because the Russians know that this is an energy facility and such facilities must be protected from any strikes in accordance with what Russia promised the American side.

Zelensky noted that the rescue operation is ongoing. At least five houses were damaged.

"This is not the first meeting, but it seems to me that this fundamental one is one of the first. It is important that we will work in a permanent format, now with the corresponding results. I cannot disclose many details, this is only the beginning, but the deepest beginning of this work," Zelensky said.

Türkiye supports the US initiative for a complete ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. But the parties are still "a little far" from any agreement, Fidan said.
"It will be extremely difficult to agree to anything that is proposed. But if we weigh the other option, which brings with it many deaths and destruction, then I think it would be wiser to accept the conditions that we will put forward," the minister said.
18.31 There are now "not very good trends" of rapprochement between representatives of the US and the Russian Federation. But Ukraine is working to put the Ukrainian issue at the forefront. This was stated by the head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, Interfax-Ukraine reports .

[KavkazUzelj Ismail Nalgiev and Zarifa Sautieva celebrated their wedding immediately after their release. Residents of Ingushetia and other Russian regions joined in congratulating the newlyweds, noting that they were touched by their story.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, Ingush activist Ismail Nalgiev was released from a penal colony in Stavropol Krai on April 1, having served his full sentence in the case of an extremist community. Zarifa Sautieva, also having served her full sentence, was released on December 28, 2024.
Seven Ingush activists were accused of creating and participating in an extremist community. In December 2021, the court sentenced Akhmed Barakhoev, Musa Malsagov, and Malsag Uzhakhov to nine years in prison, Ismail Nalgiyev, Bagaudin Khautiev, and Barakh Chemurziev to eight years, and Zarifa Sautieva to seven and a half years. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report " The Main Thing About the Case of the Ingush Protest Leaders."
Zarifa Sautieva and Ismail Nalgiev entered into a nikkah - a religious marriage - while still in prison in October 2022. On April 3, immediately after Nalgiev's release, they celebrated their wedding "according to Ingush canons," the Fortanga publication reported, publishing a short video of the bride in a white dress.
"I have two pieces of good news at once. First, political prisoner in the "Ingush case" Ismail Nalgiev has been released from prison. And second, today is the wedding of Ismail and Zarifa Sautieva, who also served an unfair sentence in this case. As we Ingush say, let them be the parents of seven sons," wrote lawyer Kaloy Akhilgov, who participated in the defense of the opposition, on his Telegram channel. Ingush human rights activist Magomed Mutsolgov called the wedding of the political prisoners "the wedding of the century" on his Facebook page.
Before the nikah, Ismail's relatives went to Zarifa's relatives, asked for her hand in marriage, and they gave their consent. In exceptional cases, nikah can be concluded without the participation of the newlyweds, if certain conditions are met. Among them: mutual consent of the groom and the bride, the presence of the girl's father or a close relative on the paternal side, and the presence of two male witnesses, the Daptar publication wrote in October 2022.
The marriage of Nalgiyev and Sautieva became to some extent a challenge to Ingush society
Zarifa and Ismail were brought together by their participation in the rallies - before that they were just friends and like-minded people, not thinking about a relationship. "If we had been told then that in a few years Zarifa would marry Ismail, no one would have believed it," said journalist and Sautieva's friend Izabella Evloeva .
According to Yevloyeva, the marriage of Nalgiyev and Sautiyeva was to some extent a “challenge to Ingush society”: there had never been a single case of an Ingush couple getting married in prison, and besides, Zarifa is much older than Ismail. “I know of cases where couples were hesitant to get married just because the woman was older. The fact that Ismail did not back down and fought for his feelings speaks of him as a very strong and courageous person,” the publication quoted her as saying.
In the comments to the publication about the wedding of the two protest leaders, many users joined in congratulating the newlyweds and expressed joy for them. "This is a people's wedding. I think all decent Ingush are happy and congratulate this couple," wrote Instagram user dzangiev75 . "May Allah grant you happiness, mutual understanding, love and good luck in life, you have been through a lot," wrote ruslanItemirova . "You deserve happiness," added rayshathamxoeva . "This is not just a wedding, but a triumph of love, patience and justice. You have proven that true love does not break under the blows of fate, but only becomes stronger," said muthannaingushi .
"They deserve great happiness, a happy life of love, joy and well-being," Fatima Khampieva wrote on Facebook*. "All the best! This is enough for a finished film script," Zurab Gadzhiev believes . "Let them be happy! I am very happy for them," wrote journalist Vladimir Sevrinovsky . In response to Sevrinovsky, Galiya Ibragimova wrote that "a film should definitely be made about them someday." "I wanted to, back when they announced the wedding. But the relatives were afraid that this might interfere with another appeal, and did not agree. The next time I am in Ingushetia, I will definitely stop by to visit them. If they do not mind, I will make a film," Sevrinovsky promised.
“In Russian, best wishes: advice to you, and love!” Muscovite Anatoly Roshchin joined the wishes in Ingush . “Happiness to you, noble Prince Ismail and Princess Zarifa! Great love, many children, peace in the family and in the homeland!” Olga Verbovaya wrote , commenting on the news in the human rights activists’ Telegram channel.

[Regnum] Russian military carried out a high-precision strike on the meeting place of the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with foreign instructors in a restaurant in Krivoy Rog. This was reported on the evening of April 4 by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
“At 18:49, a high-precision missile with a high-explosive charge was launched at the location of a meeting with unit commanders and Western instructors in one of the restaurants in the city of Krivoy Rog,” the defense department’s Telegram channel said.
They specified that as a result of the attack, the enemy lost up to 85 soldiers and officers of foreign countries, as well as 20 units of motor vehicles.
Previously, Ukrainian media reported the sounds of explosions in the city.
The Russian military department has previously indicated more than once that the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine only strike military facilities or related infrastructure. After March 18, when Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the US proposal to mutually cease strikes on energy facilities between Russia and Ukraine for 30 days, Russian troops stopped such attacks, although the Ukrainian Armed Forces constantly violate the moratorium.
Russian invaders attacked Krivoy Rog in the Dnepropetrovsk region with ballistic missiles.
The death toll from the Russian missile strike on Krivoy Rog has risen to 16. This was reported by the head of the Dnipropetrovsk OVA Serhiy Lysak in Telegram on Friday, April 4.
"16 lives lost. Six of them are children. There are no words. This is pain that you would not wish on your worst enemy. My condolences to their families and friends...", he wrote.
Recall that on the evening of April 4, Russian troops struck the center of a residential area in Krivoy Rog with ballistic missiles. It was reported that 14 people were killed , including six children.
