My objective at this point is not to learn all and advanced mathematical proof concepts/techniques. At this point my objective is to get basic understanding of what is mathematical proof and learn only basic concepts/techniques behind them. Also, I need it to have as minimal prerequisites as possible. Best variant will be some article or tutorial or a small part of a big book. Can you please provide such material?

Any short good introduction for mathematical proofs with minimal prerequisites?

I'd highly recommend Ted Sundstrom's Mathematical Reasoning Writing and Proof as it is (a) freely available, and (b) more oriented towards active learning.
As an alternative that might be a bit less pedagogically oriented, but nonetheless still interesting, you can check out Clive Newstead's An Infinite Descent Into Pure Mathematics. I haven't spent a lot of time with this book, but I have used it for an inspiration for some exercises so it doesn't hurt to check out.
