The Spin


Pro-Ukraine narrative

Ukrainian warriors did well to protect the country from missile and drone attacks, but sadly not from ballistic missiles due to the lack of suitable interceptors. The U.S. and Ukraine's European allies must take the relevant decisions in Monday's NATO Summit to increase capacity and improve Ukraine's defenses.

Pro-Russia narrative

In response to the latest terror attacks from the Kyiv regime, Russia's armed forces carried out massive strikes on Ukraine, striking its military enterprises and energy facilities in Kyiv and a number of other regions in the country.
