Pro-Ukraine narrative

This was a justified attack to weaken Russia's supply lines to the south of Ukraine. As Kyiv has every right to dislodge Russian forces from its territory, it must continue to strike Crimea to put Moscow in a vulnerable position and bring the months-long war to a successful conclusion.

Guardian

Pro-Russia narrative

Drone strikes on Crimea are nothing short of terrorist attacks, as the peninsula is legally part of the Russian Federation. It's foolish to believe that Moscow's control of Crimea can be threatened; in fact, any attacks on the peninsula would be treated as attacks on Russian sovereignty and entail immediate retaliatory strikes.
