The Spin


Pro-establishment narrative

While Ukraine has denied involvement and state backing has yet to be proven, should involvement be demonstrated, it would severely complicate Ukraine's relationship with Germany, as the country has been one of the biggest supporters of its military.

Pro-Ukraine narrative

It's too early for Ukraine to comment on this case as it has not had sight of all of the relevant details. Once they have been seen, Ukraine will provide an update via the appropriate channels.
