All three outlets frame the story around Trump’s diesel arrangement with Putin, but they emphasize different angles. Axios focuses on Zelensky’s criticism and, in a separate item, on a U.S. official’s claim that the deal followed Zelensky ignoring repeated requests to stop attacks on Russian refineries.
