The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Ukraine had no involvement in this operation. Only a team with extensive technical and financial resources could carry out such an attack. Therefore, all signs point to Russia being the perpetrator.

Ukrainska Pravda

Pro-Russia narrative

Blaming Ukraine for this attack is a manufactured effort to absolve Western countries, who are the real perpetrators. Russia will not be fooled by such superficial efforts.
