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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that peace proposals from Ukraine are exotic and unacceptable. In an interview and a speech to the United Russia party, Putin asserted that Russia is ready for negotiations only if they account for the current situation on the ground. He described Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities as effective and timely, claiming they assist soldiers in achieving their combat objectives.

Putin attributed recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory to desperation, arguing that Kyiv is losing the war. He claimed that Ukraine opened a Pandora's box by targeting the Russian economy, which he said prompted a Russian response against sensitive economic sectors. A center right source highlighted a specific incident in the Krasnodar region where a drone attack reportedly killed two children and injured two adults.

Framing of the event differed by political lean. A center left source focused on Putin's dismissal of peace terms and his comments regarding the effectiveness of strikes on Ukrainian cities. In contrast, a center right source emphasized Putin's claims that Ukrainian attacks have become more brutal and barbaric due to Kyiv's failing position on the battlefield.
