The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Given that Russia launched nearly 150 drones at Ukraine after the Trump-Putin call, Putin's words are very different from reality. Putin has no intention of ending the war and all signals point to him wanting to continue the conflict.

Pro-Russia narrative

By destroying its own drones after they had been deployed, Russia demonstrated its commitment to abide by the partial truce agreed upon by Trump and Putin. It's in fact Ukraine that's trying to sabotage the deal by later launching an attack on the Krasnodar region.
