The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Once again, Russian missiles and drones have targeted Ukraine's cities, striking residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Russia remains the biggest obstacle to peace and further pressure must be placed on it so that the war can stop.

X

Pro-Russia narrative

Over the past week, Ukraine has launched hundreds of drones outside the zone of conflict, all targeting civilian buildings and infrastructure, with the intention of sabotaging peace talks. Russia will always respond to such attacks, but unlike Ukraine, it will only strike military targets.
