The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Since the beginning of the war, Russian intelligence has been actively recruiting agents for the purposes of sabotage and surveillance. This is just the latest demonstration of these efforts.

Narrative B

The suspect in this case was not directly employed by the WFP, but worked with a contractor of the organization. The WFP is assisting Ukraine with its enquiries, and news agencies should avoid fueling speculation over this case until the facts have been clearly established.
