The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
Russia's claims about entering Dnipropetrovsk do not correspond to reality, as fighting is still ongoing in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian soldiers are holding the front courageously and professionally.
Pro-Russia narrative
Units from Russia's 90th Tank Division have now reached the western border of Donetsk and are continuing their advance into the Dnipropetrovsk region. Russian forces continue to liberate more communities and eliminate the enemy.
