Diplomat Richard Haass discusses the Russia-Ukraine war and Trump's role
NPR's Steve Inskeep speaks with veteran diplomat Richard Haass about the Russia-Ukraine war and the role President Trump is playing.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets center on Ukraine resuming strikes on Russian oil refineries and frame it as a rejection of Trump’s proposed “energy ceasefire,” with NBC News, CNBC, France 24 and the New York Times all using that angle explicitly. The Guardian US and The Hill also add that Russian strikes continued or followed alongside the Ukrainian attacks, while Al Jazeera is the only outlet here to foreground Russia accusing Ukraine of contradicting a US-brokered deal. CBS News stands apart by focusing on senators denouncing a separate Russia diesel deal rather than the strike sequence itself.
