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 Kremlin has stated that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would only be possible in Moscow. This response follows a proposal from President Zelensky to meet his Russian counterpart during the G20 summit in Miami this December. While the center left source focuses primarily on the Kremlin's rejection of the meeting location, the center right source provides broader context regarding peace negotiations and regional tensions. According to the center right report, U.S. special envoy Jared Kushner stated that a peace agreement is close if Ukraine agrees to cede the territories requested by Putin. Additionally, Kyrylo Budanov, head of the office of the Ukrainian president, mentioned the possibility of new trilateral meetings in October to discuss civilian infrastructure attacks and Black Sea navigation. Other reported developments include a diplomatic dispute between Germany and Russia over drone activity at Leipzig airport and a temporary closure of Moldovan airspace due to an unidentified drone from Ukraine.
