- 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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Friday that the deployment of European troops to Ukraine would be equivalent to a war against Russia. Speaking during a BRICS summit in New Delhi, Putin stated that European leaders are frightening their populations with an imaginary threat from Russia. He asserted that Moscow has no reason to enter into a conflict with Europe and that any such deployment would cross a red line.
Simultaneously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Donald Trump to implement severe sanctions against Russia immediately. Speaking at the Yalta European Strategy forum in Kyiv, Zelensky emphasized the need to curb Russia's capacity to produce missiles and finance the war. He expressed frustration over the speed of decision making regarding sanctions and mentioned a planned meeting with Trump in New York at the end of September.
Zelensky also noted that Ukraine is capable of responding to Russian operations, specifically mentioning potential strikes on the energy grid, while maintaining that negotiations remain a viable alternative. In Kyiv, municipal authorities reported that the city has faced 29 air alerts this week, resulting in several deaths.
