    The Spin

    Narrative A

    The EU must step up and follow Lithuania's lead in seeking full energy independence from Russian gas in response to Moscow's energy blackmail and Russian aggression in Ukraine.

    Establishment-critical narrative

    It's hypocritical to impose sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine, but not on the US for invading Iraq for equally unjustified reasons, or on Israel for invading and annexing Arab lands.

    Progressive narrative

    The invasion of Ukraine could speed up the world's transition to renewable energy. The planet's dependence on fossil fuels has to weaken; this may hasten the inevitable.
