The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

The Trump administration has spent 87 days at the highest levels of government trying to resolve this conflict. However, unless both sides show a willingness to make progress, the U.S. will have to walk away.

Pro-Russia narrative

Russia continues to seek a peaceful resolution to this conflict, as long as its national interest is protected. It remains actively involved with the Trump administration on what that entails.
