The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
With Ukraine being Europe's first line of defense against Russia, the EU must continue to ensure Ukraine remains able to defend itself. That's why this €2 billion drone purchase is being announced, but in the long-term, a more structural solution is needed. That's why the reparations loan is being proposed. Ultimately, Russia must bear the cost for its aggression.
Pro-Russia narrative
Russia remains ready to settle the conflict diplomatically. But rather than encourage this path, the Kremlin sees Europe as undermining these efforts and egging Ukraine on to keep going militarily. Such a strategy will only lead to Ukraine's downfall, but European leaders are too deluded to admit this.
