The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

Russia's renewed campaign to destroy Ukraine's battered power grid shows Moscow's growing desperation and a callous disregard for human life and international law as the war enters its third year. The Kremlin isn't hell-bent on a settlement but on the destruction of the Ukrainian state. The international community must maintain strong support for Ukraine to defend against this aggression.

New York Times

Pro-Russia narrative

Ukraine has been attacking deep within Russia, including targeting energy installations such as oil storage facilities and refineries, using kamikaze drones. Moscow must use high-precision weapons and strike drones on Ukraine's military airfields and gas production facilities to weaken its forces and send a message that those using Western long-range weapons systems against Russia will face devastating consequences.
