The Spin

Pro-Europe narrative

NATO and European allies are strengthening collective defense, responding rapidly to airspace threats, and coordinating security measures across the continent. Ukraine’s expertise in anti-drone and hybrid-threat operations enhances NATO’s readiness, while joint centers and shared insights ensure lessons from the war bolster Europe’s defenses.

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Ukraine is sharing its expertise in drone defense with Europe, deploying experienced teams to build a coordinated “Drone Wall” across the continent. By strengthening security guarantees and expanding sanctions on Russia’s oil trade and shadow fleets, Europe can stop Moscow’s war machine. Ukraine’s fight is Europe’s fight — acting together with speed and strength ensures immediate protection and long-term stability for all.

Pro-Russia narrative

The Copenhagen summit and Zelensky’s push for more European backing confirm what Russians have long said: NATO and the EU have declared war on Russia through Ukraine. Plans for no-fly zones, shooting down Russian drones, and seizing Russian assets prove the West’s aggression. Europe’s “coalition of the willing” is provoking conflict, and Moscow will defend its sovereignty by all means — legally, extrajudicially and without limits.
