> The Anti-Corruption Foundation proposed easing sanctions on Russia in exchange for repealing repressive laws and ending politically motivated criminal cases, rather than focusing only on individual prisoner releases. It specifically cited the laws on “military fakes” and “discrediting the army.” The Kremlin denied that Russia has political prisoners and rejected framing the issue that way.
