The Spin

Pro-Ukraine narrative

Ukraine has developed irreplaceable expertise in defending against Iranian-made Shahed drones. It is prepared to share this know-how with countries who have assisted Ukraine in the course of its war with Russia.

Anti-Trump narrative

The irony of the U.S. asking for assistance will not be lost on Ukrainians who have suffered under U.S. President Donald Trump's erratic policy towards their country, including the cutting off of direct military supplies.
