The Facts
Russian forces have entered the Donetsk city of Toretsk, a spokesperson for Ukraine's armed forces said this week.
Reports suggested the presence of Russian troops in Toretsk going as far back as August 23. However, the recent remarks were the first confirmation of fighting inside the city by a Ukrainian official.
The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Throughout the two-and-a-half years of Russia's vicious onslaught on Ukraine, the US has been at Ukraine's side to ensure that it remains an independent country and that Putin does not succeed. US support for Ukraine remains unwavering.
Establishment-critical narrative
With US weapons now attacking inside Russia and reports that Ukrainian troops are supported by Western special forces disguised as mercenaries, we're now as close to World War III as we've ever been. It is shocking that Western elites continue to pursue these disastrous policies.
