- 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 Ukrainian drone attack struck a logistics hub belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, in the Tambov Oblast. Tambov Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov reported that the attack caused a fire covering over 100,000 square meters and left one employee injured. This event follows a series of strikes on Russian e-commerce infrastructure. According to reports, Ukrainian forces recently targeted logistics centers belonging to Ozon, a main competitor of Wildberries, in the Samara Oblast and the city of Orenburg. Other reported Ukrainian military activity on August 26 included strikes in Russian occupied Luhansk, as well as explosions and power disruptions in Crimea's Bakhchysarai district, Simferopol, Saky district, and Yevpatoriya. One source notes that significant portions of Wildberries' warehouse capacity have been destroyed since July 18.
