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.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that there is a window of opportunity for United States mediation to end the war with Russia by the end of the European summer of 2027. According to Zelenskiy, the opportunity for a peace settlement extends from the upcoming G-20 summit in the United States this December until the end of summer 2027, at which point the 2028 US presidential campaign will become the primary focus. Ukraine has drafted a one page document with suggestions, created in collaboration with US and European authorities, to be presented to Moscow. Key points of the document include a ceasefire and a US proposal for a free trade zone in the eastern Donbass region to be managed by a third party. The Kremlin has rejected the free trade zone proposal, with spokesperson Dmitrij Peskow stating that the Donbass is part of Russia and that NATO troops in Ukraine are unacceptable. Previous US led peace talks failed earlier this year because Ukraine rejected demands for territorial concessions while Russia maintained its maximalist demands.
