- 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.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenskyy has stated that Russia plans to conduct a new military mobilization of several hundred thousand people following the parliamentary elections on September 20. According to Zelenskyy, who cited intelligence reports, the plan involves a rapid mobilization by the end of the year and an additional similar amount the following year. This would be in addition to ongoing contract based recruitment. Zelenskyy described the upcoming elections as simulated, noting that the Russian Supreme Court recently banned Yabloko, a political force opposed to the war, from participating in the Duma elections. Ukrainian authorities are reportedly working on measures to hinder these Russian plans. Separately, Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened mirror measures against the West following the seizure of several ships from his shadow fleet, stating that Russia may act in waters it deems necessary. Former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev added that Russia has the right to attack merchant ships of hostile states if there is suspicion that they are transporting cargo in the interest of the opponent.
