The Facts

  • At least 29 people were killed and dozens more were injured after a Russian missile attack targeted five Ukrainian cities and struck a children's hospital in Kyiv on Monday.

The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

This is yet another example of the terrorism that Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin has unleashed on Ukraine. How many more demonstrations does the world need before taking decisive action against him?

Pro-Russia narrative

Russia has repeatedly said that it does not target civilians. All strikes are directed at military targets, including military warehouses, fuel depots, and training facilities.
