- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
A major Rosneft oil refinery in Ryazan caught fire following a drone strike overnight. Ukraine's General Staff claimed responsibility for the hit on the facility, which is one of the largest in Russia. In Rostov, drone activity resulted in damage to several apartment buildings and private homes, leading to the hospitalization of a young boy. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that air defense forces intercepted and destroyed 258 Ukrainian drones during the night. While the center lean source focused on the strategic impact of the refinery strike and the timing of US envoys arriving in Kyiv, the center left lean source provided detailed accounts of civilian casualties and residential damage across multiple Russian regions.
