The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Russia deliberately targeted a kindergarten with 48 children inside, killing civilians and terrorizing innocent kids who needed emergency evacuation. This war crime proves that Russia grows more brazen in attacking civilian targets, including schools and daycare centers. Only force can stop these terrorist attacks that mock any peaceful solution.

Pro-Russia narrative

Russian forces conducted military operations against a drone manufacturer in Kharkiv. Rather than publicize this fact, Ukrainian officials pushed false information about a kindergarten that is said not to have even existed.
