The Spin


Pro-Ukraine narrative

Russia has once again launched an attack on civilian sites, including the Barabashovo market in Kharkiv. There are no military facilities or any potential military targets nearby.

Pro-Russia narrative

Putin's orders for a three-day ceasefire, suspending all military operations, are still in effect despite Ukraine's attacks. However, Russia will launch an adequate response if Ukraine attacks.
