The Spin

Anti-Russia narrative

Imprisoning these scientists on trumped-up charges is unacceptable. Clearly, Russia is paranoid and attempting to safeguard its technological advantage regardless of its violations of human rights. Russian scientists must be careful working with other countries while Putin remains in power.

The Telegraph

Pro-Russia narrative

Russia is facing grave security risks in this time of war and it can't let its defenses down. If these scientists were found guilty of treason, they must be held accountable, and the security agencies must continue working to weed out traitors. Other nations should stay out of Russia's business.
