The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The international community had an opportunity to put an end to the slaughter, rape, and famine in Sudan's terrible civil war. However, one country prevented the Council from speaking with one voice. Russia has once again obstructed peace by using its veto power to allow the bloodshed in Sudan to continue. Putin is solely to blame.

Establishment-critical narrative

Sudan does need a cease-fire, but that doesn't mean that an overtly colonial draft resolution that would invite foreign powers into Sudan and effectively make the situation worse must be approved. On top of that, Britain lied that the government of Sudan supported this move. Russia vetoed this resolution because the UNSC can do better.
