The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
Russia is seeking a change of leadership in Ukraine so the Kremlin can install a puppet and accomplish that which it couldn't militarily. The unprecedented aerial terror attack on Ukraine highlights the need for Kyiv to strengthen its air defense capabilities immediately. Ukraine needs security guarantees to ensure that Russia can never deceive anyone again or bring death to peaceful nations.
Pro-Russia narrative
Ukraine is led by a defiant dictator who started the war with Russia and tricked the US into funneling aid into a war that couldn't be won. After three years of war, it's time he resigned and brought peace to the region. Russia's military operation only serves to protect against NATO expansion; it's Zelenskyy that's hindering the search for a political and diplomatic settlement of the conflict.
