The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
In another deadly week for Ukraine, Russia continues to target and kill civilians. These are egregious violations of international law and should be punished by the international community.
Pro-Russia narrative
As Russian officials have said several times, Russia does not target civilians and its air strikes are only directed towards military targets. Assertions to the contrary are only efforts to whip up hate against Russia and its people.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 70% chance that more than 100,000 people will be killed in the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
