The Spin

Pro-Russia narrative

Russian authorities are already conducting a probe into this tragedy to determine whether safety protocols were violated or it was a result of arson. Moscow will do everything possible to save lives and bring potential wrongdoers to justice.

Anti-Russia narrative

As Russian gas emits methane at rates eight times higher than the EU's domestic sources, reliance on Putin's petrol industry exacerbates security concerns and global warming. The EU, in particular, should implement measures such as accurate methane reporting, increasing renewable energy, and diversifying gas imports, to reduce Russia's geopolitical leverage and environmental impact.
