The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Coming as Ukraine celebrated the defeat of Nazis in World War II, Russian Pres. Putin is repeating the same horrors in Ukraine that the world saw all those years ago. We must be just as determined to defeat Russian fascism as we were with previous forms of evil that walked the earth.

Pro-Russia narrative
