The Spin

Pro-Russia narrative

In addition to efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, Putin will raise the issue of frozen Russian assets in the U.S. when he meets representatives. Russia is prepared to contribute some of these funds to Trump's Board of Peace.

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump is a high-stakes one. As Trump's relationship with European leaders comes under pressure, Zelenskyy has to ensure that Ukraine is protected and not used as a battering ram against Europeans.
