The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The U.S. continues to engage in meaningful dialogue with both Russia and Ukraine about ending the war. Because of this, there's a good chance of a meeting between the leaders of the countries in the coming weeks, as well as a wider end of the conflict by the end of the year.
Opposition narrative
While the U.S. is promising to back up European security guarantees with intelligence and air support, these plans are doomed to fail as Russian officials have repeatedly ruled out U.S. participation in the arrangements, as well as the presence of any NATO country's troops in Ukraine.
