The Spin

Pro-Russia narrative

Ukraine continues to launch drones into Moscow and other Russian regions. These attacks take place in areas that are far from the fighting and are simply intended to terrorize Russian civilians and disrupt its airports.

Anti-Russia narrative

Russia routinely obfuscates the targets of Ukrainian strikes. While attacks target arms manufacturers and Russia's defense industrial base, Russia only mentions the regions to make it appear that Ukraine targets civilians.
