Navalny's FBK offers sanctions relief for repeal of Russian repressive laws

The Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK), founded by Alexei Navalny, has proposed a deal to ease sanctions on Russia in exchange for the Kremlin repealing laws used to prosecute anti-war speech and criticism of the military, and dropping politically motivated cases. This marks a notable shift in opposition strategy, offering a potential off-ramp for sanctions relief tied to domestic legal reforms. The proposal's viability is uncertain, as it requires Kremlin cooperation and acceptance by Western governments.
