Ukraine-Russia war latest: Missiles hit Kyiv as Putin agrees ‘in principle’ to resume peace talks

What the coverage shows

All six outlets center on Putin’s agreement in principle to resume peace talks, often framing it as a three-way or US-mediated process involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States. Axios stands out by foregrounding Steve Witkoff’s upcoming meeting and the updated peace proposal, while France 24 uniquely adds Zelenskiy’s statement backing US-led three-way talks. BBC News and The Independent are the only ones that tie the diplomacy to the missile strike on Kyiv in their headlines.
