What the coverage shows
All five outlets focus on the ceasefire starting in or around Oleshky and tie it to a humanitarian mission brokered by Melania Trump. NBC News foregrounds the White House description of the deal as a temporary stop to military action for aid and evacuation, while NPR and the South China Morning Post both add that missile attacks resumed in Kyiv, a detail absent from Sky News and The Independent.
