The Guardian view on Vladimir Putin’s war: terror without purpose | Editorial

The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
This latest attack, which inflicted the highest death toll from any attack on Kyiv in the past month, came as Ukraine was celebrating International Children’s Day. Instead, those events were canceled and the day came to mark another horrific day of Russian aggression.
Pro-Russia narrative
US statements that it does not support strikes inside Russia while in the same breath approving millions of dollars of additional weapons demonstrate to Russia America's real priorities. These assurances are worthless and America continues to fan the flames of conflict.
