The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Although there were nearly 3,000 violations of the ceasefire by Russia, Ukraine is prepared to extend the banning of strikes on civilian infrastructure for another 30 days. The nature of Ukraine's actions will be symmetrical to that of Russia's.

Pro-Russia narrative

With the expiration of the truce, Russia's actions as part of the special military operation continue. There is nothing to add after Ukraine's ceasefire violations.
