The Spin
Pro-Ukraine narrative
Russia is continuing its terror attacks on residential areas of Ukraine, knowing that civilians will be killed. Military pressure needs to be placed on Russia so that attacks of this sort come to an end.
Establishment-critical narrative
While Russia has struck residential areas in the course of the war, it has denied targeting civilians, and it's possible that missiles headed for industrial sites missed their targets as a result of electronic jamming.
