The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

These packages are undoubtedly linked to Spain's support for Ukraine, given they were sent to diplomatic and military-related locations. The world has already recognized Russia as a terrorist state, so it's not wrong to suspect that the enemy of Ukraine and the West might send explosives to one of Kyiv's most vocal allies.

Pro-Russia narrative

There's no credible evidence that points to Russia — which has openly condemned the attacks — and Spanish officials themselves have cast doubt surrounding the allegation. Rather than throw around baseless accusations, the West should focus on how best to ramp up European defense systems against bomb-by-mail terror attacks.
