The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

By continuing to target innocent children, Russia has committed serious war crimes, inflicting psychological distress on Ukrainians. Putin must be charged appropriately, as there's no escaping the conclusion that his intention is to annex Russia's neighbor, no matter the harm it causes to the younger generation.

Establishment-critical narrative

Interestingly, Ukraine's Western allies frown on an offensive action on its territory but remain silent about Kyiv's drone strikes on the Kremlin or fatal shellings on schools across the Russian border. It's important to note that Ukraine has killed more Russian civilians — including children — than it has admitted to via attacks deep into Russian territory.
