The former Soviet Union on the war in Ukraine
Komsomolskaya Pravda calls Zelensky a lying 'ghoul' and blames him for heavier strikes on Kyiv
The angriest piece in the set is a Komsomolskaya Pravda column. It mocks Zelensky as 'the Expired One' and a tearful hypocrite, says Russia's announced escalation against Kyiv is his fault, and warns Ukrainians he will drag them down with him. Belarus Segodnya adds gloating front-line videos. Moldova's Unimedia openly sympathises with Ukraine, and most Central Asian and Caucasus outlets simply rewrite wire copy. Komsomolskaya Pravda, 4 Oct

The loud ones

In a column, Komsomolskaya Pravda calls Zelensky 'the Kyiv ghoul', 'the Expired One' and a 'lying comedian'. It says he sends drones at Russian housing with one hand and wipes away a tear with the other. It presents the Russian MoD's escalation of strikes on Kyiv as a deserved response and asks Ukrainians directly: 'he will definitely drag Ukraine down to the bottom with him. Do you need that?'
This is the hottest item in the set. It pairs personal contempt for Zelensky with a menacing message aimed at ordinary Ukrainians. It recasts his promise not to hit civilians as hypocrisy, which sets up a justification for more strikes on the capital. Komsomolskaya Pravda, 4 Oct

Belarus Segodnya, the Lukashenko administration's paper, runs gloating video teasers. One shows destroyed Ukrainian armour, some of it Western-supplied, under the line 'Different countries – one parking lot'. Another cheers the downing of a Ukrainian 'little plane' with 'Beauties!'

Belarus Segodnya relays Lukashenko joking that he and Putin are 'co-aggressors'. He pledges that Minsk will always follow Moscow's decisions on the war and will 'never allow anyone to shoot Russians in the back'.
Minsk's own paper prints the Belarusian leader openly accepting the role of co-aggressor against Ukraine. He calls it a joke, but he also pledges unconditional alignment with Moscow. SB. Belarus Segodnya, 2 Oct

Kaktus, Tengrinews, Daryo and Report.az carry wire copy on Trump pressing Zelensky for a deal, the Bloomberg report that Trump proposed a Moscow meeting, Putin calling a partial halt to strikes 'absurd', and talks on a Black Sea ceasefire.

What it says about them
Coverage that reveals more about the source country’s own preoccupations than about Ukraine. This is a separate pass, told to apply the same standard to every outlet, but the model judging it was trained mostly on Western, English-language text.
Komsomolskaya Pravda (Russia) high confidence
The column on stepped-up strikes on Kyiv isn't really about Ukraine. It answers Zelensky's 'we are people' remark with Russian grievances: drones aimed at polling stations during the State Duma elections, a planned 1,600-drone raid on Moscow and an attack on the St Petersburg forum. It calls Zelensky 'the Expired One' and a 'ghoul'. The DPR blackout piece and the Kursk report present Ukraine only as an 'enemy' taking 'impotent' revenge. The DPR piece also tells readers that KP's MAX messenger channel stays on the 'white list' during mobile internet restrictions.
The pieces are mainly aimed at justifying escalation to a home audience that is feeling the war itself: refinery fires, strikes on Belgorod and Kursk, and election-day attacks. The mention of the 'white list' shows that mobile internet shutdowns in Russia are now normal enough to be mentioned in passing. The insults about Zelensky's legitimacy repeat a domestic talking point and say nothing new about Ukraine. Komsomolskaya Pravda, 4 OctKomsomolskaya Pravda, 4 OctKomsomolskaya Pravda, 4 Oct
SB. Belarus Segodnya (Belarus) high confidence
The paper relays Lukashenko joking with Putin about which of them is 'more of an aggressor'. He says Belarus will 'never allow anyone to shoot Russians in the back' and calls the two countries 'a single Fatherland from Brest to Vladivostok'. Ukraine is just the backdrop. Alongside this, the paper runs gloating video teasers that cheer Russian kills ('Beauties! The Ukrainian Armed Forces' little plane didn't make it!') and mock Western equipment, written as if Belarus were fighting the war itself.
The war is used to show the Belarusian regime's loyalty to Moscow, and to head off Western criticism ('the West will now start chewing all this over'). Lukashenko admits Minsk has its 'own understanding' of the war but will follow Russia anyway. The paper also cheers a war Belarus officially says it isn't fighting, which shows how closely it follows the Russian information space. SB. Belarus Segodnya, 2 OctSB. Belarus Segodnya, 2 OctSB. Belarus Segodnya, 2 OctSB. Belarus Segodnya, 2 Oct
News.am (Armenia) medium confidence
News.am ran Medvedev's warning that the worst thing that could happen to Armenia is becoming 'a new Ukraine'. Here Ukraine is not a country being reported on but a warning label for what happens to a former Soviet state that turns away from Russia.
It shows how much Armenia worries about its own shift away from Moscow. To Armenian readers, Ukraine is a picture of what defying Russia might cost, and the war is read through Armenia's own position rather than reported for its own sake. News.am, 3 Oct
Tengrinews (Kazakhstan) medium confidence
Asked in Berlin about Ukraine, Tokayev's answers are mostly about Kazakhstan's position. He calls Putin an 'outstanding statesman' and the 'most acceptable' leader, insists on 'territorial integrity of all states', and stresses respect for the Ukrainian people and 'of course, the Ukrainian language'. Tengrinews relays all of it deferentially.
This is Kazakhstan's multi-vector balancing on show. Its emphasis on territorial integrity and on respect for a national language makes more sense in light of Kazakhstan's own large Russian-speaking north than as a comment on Ukraine. The outlet also chose to lead with the praise for Putin. Tengrinews, 29 Sep
Unimedia (Moldova) medium confidence
Unimedia covers the war mainly through Russian drones crashing in Moldova. It relays Sandu ('Ukraine needs support to... protect our peace as well'), Grosu and the Foreign Ministry, all of whom frame the war as a growing danger to Moldova. Ukraine's defence is presented as Moldova's front line. The coverage closely follows the pro-European government's line.
Moldova's main concern is its own security, and its pro-European leaders use the war to argue for their Western course. I applied the same test as for the pro-Kremlin outlets. This case is milder, though, because drones really did explode on Moldovan soil. Unimedia, 3 OctUnimedia, 30 SepUnimedia, 30 Sep
Turkmenportal (Turkmenistan) low confidence
An embassy press release about honouring the poet Magtymguly in Kyiv. Ukraine appears only as a host city, and the war under way in that city at the same time is never mentioned.
It reflects Turkmenistan's state cultural promotion and strict neutrality. Even Kyiv in wartime is used only as a stage for the Turkmen national poet, and the war is ignored completely. Turkmenportal, 25 Sep
There were 48 articles, and roughly two-thirds are wire rewrites, mainly of DW, Reuters, dpa, TASS and Bloomberg, especially from Avesta.tj, Report.az, News.am and Kaktus.media. The hostility comes almost entirely from Komsomolskaya Pravda and Belarus Segodnya, and Turkmenportal and Tengrinews barely touch the war. Everything above is an AI model’s reading of the articles below. Treat it as a lead, not a verdict.

Reporting Politico, the piece says Poland and Romania refuse to expand transit of Ukrainian grain despite a Black Sea blockade and Kyiv's pleas, citing their own farmers' interests. It sets out the threat to Ukraine's exports and next year's sowing.
If the blockade persists, up to 35 million tonnes of agricultural products could remain inside the country this year.

A Harsh Response to Zelensky's Threats: Russia Will Intensify Strikes on Kyiv

The people who live there are the ones the Kyiv ghoul evidently does not count as people.

Комиссар ООН призвал к деэскалации в Украине
Relaying TASS, the piece reports UN rights chief Türk's call for de-escalation and talks, then frames Russia as the consistent champion of diplomacy and blames Ukraine's changed position and Western leaders, including the UK, for the collapse of the 2022 Istanbul agreements.
Russia has consistently advocated for a long time for settling the Ukrainian crisis by diplomatic means.
Россия на протяжении длительного времени последовательно выступает за урегулирование украинского кризиса дипломатическим путем.
This was prevented by an adjustment of the Ukrainian side's position and the involvement of Western leaders, including representatives of the United Kingdom.
этому помешали корректировка позиции украинской стороны и вовлеченность западных лидеров, в том числе представителей Великобритании.

Lukashenko Outlines His Position on the Military Conflict in Ukraine
Лукашенко обозначил свою позицию по военному конфликту в Украине
The Belarusian state paper relays Lukashenko's statement that he and Putin jokingly call themselves "co-aggressors", that Minsk has reservations but will always follow Russia's lead and never "shoot Russians in the back", and that Belarus and Russia form one Fatherland from Brest to Vladivostok. Ukraine appears only as the arena of the conflict.
In the first days of the war I said directly: we will never allow anyone to shoot Russians in the back.
В первые дни войны я прямо заявил: мы никогда не позволим стрелять русским в спину.
If you, the leadership of Russia, make a decision, we will always be with you, despite our particular understanding of what is happening there.
Если вы, руководство России, примете решение, мы всегда будем с вами, несмотря на наши особенности понимания того, что там происходит.
After all, we are "co-aggressors" with him.
В конце концов, мы же «соагрессоры» с ним.

Ukraine uses its own FP-7 ballistic missile against the Russians for the first time
Украина впервые применила против россиян свою баллистическую ракету FP-7
Daryo reports Ukraine's first combat use of the domestically developed FP-7 ballistic missile, explaining its advantages over slow drones and cruise missiles, while noting that Zelensky gave no details and that its battlefield impact and Fire Point's air-defence plans remain unproven.
However, this does not mean that the FP-7 will instantly change the balance of forces at the front, or even on a single sector of it.
Однако это не означает, что FP-7 мгновенно изменит расклад сил на фронте или даже на отдельном его участке.
Short- and medium-range surface-to-air missile systems, which show high effectiveness against drones, are powerless against this threat.
Зенитно-ракетные комплексы малой и средней дальности, показывающие высокую эффективность в борьбе с дронами, оказываются бессильны перед этой угрозой.
However, these figures remain only plans for now, and how successful they are will become clear only after practical tests.
Впрочем, эти цифры пока остаются лишь планами, а степень их успешности станет понятна только после практических испытаний.

Putin sees no point in partial cessation of strikes between Russia and Ukraine
Путин не видит смысла в частичном прекращении ударов между РФ и Украиной
Report.az relays Putin's Valdai remarks dismissing proposals for a partial, mutual halt to strikes (Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries versus Russian attacks on Ukrainian ships) as absurd and one-sided, while saying talks are possible on the basis of mutual interests.
And in response we would have to stop striking facilities that are sensitive for them in the economic sense. Well, you must agree that it simply looks absurd.
А мы в ответ на это должны будем прекращать удары по чувствительным для них объектам в экономическом смысле. Ну, согласитесь, что выглядит нелепо просто.
