Pro-Ukraine narrative
Ukraine must maintain its sovereignty and independence through military strength and international support, as Russia poses an existential threat not just to Ukraine but to the entire NATO alliance. A peace deal cannot be reached without Ukraine's direct involvement and guarantees for its security.
Pro-Russia narrative
