What the coverage shows

Most of the coverage centers on Trump’s invitation to Putin for the G20 summit in Miami, with the Guardian, Washington Post and New York Times all foregrounding the diplomatic move and the expectation that it will draw unease because of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The Independent folds the invitation into a broader Ukraine war roundup and is the only outlet here to lead with a report about six workers killed in a drone attack on a Kharkiv farm.
