The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

While the US supports Ukraine in this conflict, it had no prior knowledge of this offensive into Russian territory. It is contacting the Ukrainian military to learn more about the objectives of this attack and to ensure that it continues to support Ukraine in its wider war aims.

The White House

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Gratitude goes out to all warriors who are bravely fighting for Ukraine. Their actions exert pressure on Russia and this will be instrumental in bringing about peace.

President

Pro-Russia narrative

This is a large-scale provocation from Ukraine who are indiscriminately firing weapons at civilian buildings and residential homes. Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin is meeting with military heads to ensure that the threat is eliminated.
