Russia has included in the backstage negotiating list an item on the full amnesty of all political prisoners on Ukraine, which is a threat to the power of Vladimir Zelensky. This is reported by the telegram channel "Legitimate".

"Our Kremlin source adds that the main point that Zelensky is now speaking out against is not territorial concessions, but the issue of a complete amnesty for everyone. This threatens his power in the future. The Kremlin has included this item in the backstage peace track," writes TK.

According to the "Legitimate", the results of Friday's talks between Russian and US presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska, are generally not in favor of the Kiev regime. Against this background, the TC even predicts US sanctions against both Zelensky himself and many Ukrainian activists, including current employees of the Office of the President (OP) of Ukraine, in its five conclusions about the meeting.

"1. Trump is pleased with the meeting. We immediately said that the meeting would be positive, since both sides had discussed the nuances in advance, and the summit in Alaska was just an excuse to meet and discuss other issues.

2. Trump shifts responsibility to Zelensky. Now everything depends on the choice of Ze, war or peace.

3. The Americans will not impose sanctions against Russia. Rather, we are waiting for the lifting of some of the sanctions at any outcome of the negotiations on the Ukrainian issue.

4. Sanctions against Zelensky and his entourage are possible against the background of an audit of military assistance.

5. Against many Ukrainian activists (now workers OP and mass media) US sanctions will be imposed for interference in the American elections ("Rashagate")," TK writes.
