What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Trump’s claim that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an “energy ceasefire,” with several, including Reuters, NBC, CBS, and the South China Morning Post, also noting Zelenskyy’s reaction that it was “news to me” or similar surprise. Earlier coverage in NBC, Axios, Washington Post, and CBS framed the story around Trump’s diesel deal with Russia and its effect on prices, while later pieces from Fox, The Hill, the Guardian, and France 24 foregrounded Trump’s attacks on Zelenskyy and calls for a new Ukrainian leader. Axios uniquely adds Zelenskyy’s direct critique that the deal was “not fair and not honest.”
