The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Every week that Russia's war continues, more and more people are dying, including soldiers from its own military. All of this for no changes in territory. Russia must wake up to the reality that this war's gone on for too long and that a peace deal needs to be negotiated.

Pro-Russia narrative

Russia remains committed to finding a diplomatic end to the conflict, as long as its security concerns are considered. However, it does not see reciprocity from Ukraine and European countries insist on deploying their militaries to the country. Therefore, unless there's a change, Russia will have to continue pursuing its interests militarily.
