The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

With Mongolia not arresting Russian Pres. Putin and not fulfilling its obligations as a member state to the ICC, the East Asian nation will now most certainly be prosecuted by the ICC for breaching its duty of cooperation. Putin illegally deported hundreds of children to Ukraine, against the wishes of their parents, and he must face justice for these war crimes.

Pro-Russia narrative

Western journalists continue to ignore facts and falsify what really took place in the eastern Donbas since 2014. Russia accepted 5M Ukrainian refugees, a significant number of them children. Most of those came to Russia with parents or relatives. In the minority of cases where there are orphans, they were put in temporary foster families. At least that way, the children were removed from the front lines.
