The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
Russia's attack was pure terrorism. Russian President Putin carries out these attacks because he wants the war to go on and he can only afford to do so because of a failure of the international community to take strong enough action. That must end and there needs to be repercussions.
Pro-Russia narrative
Russia has repeatedly said that it does not target civilians. All strikes are directed at military targets, including military warehouses, fuel depots, and training facilities.
