The Spin

Narrative A

The additional military aid for Ukraine is a clear message from the EU that it will continue to support the country in the face of its struggle against Russia. Although minor cracks have shown, Europe understands that its security lies in Ukraine defeating Russia on the battlefield.

Narrative B

Despite the EU's affirmations, it's clear that Western support for Ukraine is slipping — underlined by events in the US where Ukraine aid was dropped in order to avoid a government shutdown. As next year's US election approaches, it is apparent that the cracks in the West's support of Ukraine are only going to deepen.
