Pro-establishment narrative:

• Not only has Russia repeatedly launched attacks on Ukrainians civilians, they have repeatedly deployed the "double tap" strategy that deliberately targets its emergency service workers. The international community must condemn these barbaric tactics.

Pro-Russia narrative:

• Russia has repeatedly made clear that it does not and would not target civilians. All strikes are directed at military targets, including military warehouses, fuel depots and training facilities. These latest statements from Ukrainian officials are attempts to vilify justified Russian counterattacks.
