The Facts
As the Russia-Ukraine war approaches its third year, a series of Russian drones and missiles again targeted Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions on Wednesday.
Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy described it as: "Another massive Russian air attack against our country." He added that, "[s]ix regions came under enemy fire," but that the aftermath is now being address by: "[a]ll of our services."
The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
As it has done throughout the war, Russia is continuing to deliberately target Ukraine's civilian population, as well as the energy infrastructure they rely on. Russian terrorism must be stopped.
Pro-Russia narrative
Russia has repeatedly made clear that it does not target civilians. All strikes are directed at military targets, including military warehouses, fuel depots, and training facilities.
