The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

By including Russian forces on the shame list, the UN is holding the Kremlin's forces accountable for disturbing violations against children. Russia has indiscriminately attacked hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, and other civilian structures, killing hundreds of Ukrainian children.

Establishment-critical narrative

This report has hypocrisies. Ukraine has also committed violations against children and was not included on this list, and neither is Israel. Instead of being a nonpartisan report on children in conflict zones, this list is politically motivated — giving American allies like Ukraine and Israel a free pass.
