What the coverage shows

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. CBS News foregrounds Trump presenting the deal as a response to fuel prices and the midterms, while Channel 4 News ties the same diesel theme to the midterms and adds only in its extract a line about the Zaporizhzhia attack.
