- 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.
Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least six people and injured 43 others over a 24 hour period ending September 14. Donetsk Oblast was among the hardest hit regions, where three people were killed and 13 were injured. Other casualties were reported in Kherson Oblast, where two died, and Zaporizhzhia Oblast, where one person was killed. Injuries were also reported in Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts. The Ukrainian Air Force stated that Russia launched 108 drones, 85 of which were intercepted, while strikes were recorded at seven locations.
Simultaneously, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that its air defense systems destroyed 399 drones launched by Ukrainian forces across several Russian regions, the Black Sea, and Crimea. While the center lean source focused on the human toll and specific damage within Ukraine, the center right lean source framed the event as a series of cross border attacks occurring amidst a recent increase in diplomatic efforts by envoys of Donald Trump.
