The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

In this latest attack, Russia has continued its long trend of deliberately targeting civilians in order to inflict the maximum amount of terror on Ukraine. Moscow must be defeated, and one day be held accountable for all these crimes.

Pro-Russia narrative

Any allegation that Russia deliberately targets civilians in attacks is categorically untrue. Russia only strikes military targets, and the attack in question struck Ukraine's 56th Motorized Infantry Brigade.
