- 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.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine has submitted proposals to US negotiators for a plan to end the war with Russia. While Zelenskyy did not provide specific details of the proposals, he stated that the United States could help strengthen Ukrainian defenses, particularly air defense, and pressure Russia to seek an end to the conflict rather than prolonging it. These developments come as reports suggest US negotiators may soon visit both Russia and Ukraine.
Zelenskyy also warned that Russia is planning a large scale mobilization of several hundred thousand soldiers by the end of the year, with a similar number planned for the following year. He claimed this plan is confirmed by internal Russian documents and that President Vladimir Putin intends to use the September parliamentary elections as a pretext to create the appearance of public support for the war. Russian officials have denied these claims, with former President Dmitry Medvedev calling them lies and provocations intended to destabilize Russia before the elections.
Simultaneously, Ukraine reported deadly Russian strikes across several cities, including Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian authorities stated that at least 10 people were killed and dozens injured. Zelenskyy specifically accused Moscow of using North Korean ballistic missiles in the attack on Zaporizhzhia, where seven workers at a Metinvest steel plant were killed. The Russian Defense Ministry countered that its strikes targeted military industrial facilities and drone storage centers.
In other developments, the Russian Supreme Court barred the Yabloko party, the only officially registered party opposing the war, from competing in the upcoming September elections. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck an oil refinery in Orsk, Russia, causing a fire.
