How Russian, Ukrainian and independent media report the same events
Each card groups reports about one event: what Russian sources (TASS, RIA Novosti, Interfax, the Russian Defense Ministry), Ukrainian sources (Suspilne, Ukrainska Pravda, RBC-Ukraine) and independent sources (BBC, AP, The Guardian, DW, Al Jazeera, Meduza, Kyiv Independent) say. Summaries are automatic (language model); quotes are verbatim, in their original language, with a link. The “Confirmation” badge shows how far different sources support the event; it is not an assessment of truth. “No reports found” means absent from the collected data, not from all media. The site does not decide which version is true.
