The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

In withdrawing from the grain deal, Russia is again weaponizing food and exacerbating an already fragile food insecurity situation across the world. Moscow must urgently return to the negotiating table in order to avoid a humanitarian crisis.

Pro-Russia narrative

Russia's withdrawal from the grain deal comes after the agreement's terms were blatantly violated, when an attack was made on Russian ships used to safeguard the humanitarian corridor. Given this terrorist act was likely carried out with the assistance of British specialists, it's unsurprising that Moscow is unwilling to trust Western negotiators.
