The Spin

Pro-Russia narrative

This is a serious attack requiring a strong response from police and officials. The relevant authorities have been briefed so that they can launch their investigations.

Anti-Russia narrative

Russia is taking an unusually critical stance on this attack. Perhaps Putin and the Kremlin leadership's ties with the Chechen leader are strained and Moscow is leveraging this incident to reign him under their control.
