How outlets framed it

Left: Meduza and CNN focus on the scale of the Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, the lack of warnings for residents, and the resulting damage, particularly at an oil refinery.

Center: Reuters and Euronews report on the drone attack, noting the number of injured and quoting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's remarks about the refinery fire.

Right: RT emphasizes the large number of drones launched by Ukraine at Moscow and reports on the resulting injuries in the Moscow region.

Key divergence: While most sources highlight the scale and impact of the Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, RT frames it as an aggressive act by Ukraine, whereas Meduza and CNN focus on the lack of preparedness and the consequences for residents.
