Russian bombing of Ukraine aid centre and shelter kills 26

Russian forces on Monday bombed a school being used as an aid distribution point in a village in Ukraine’s southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, killing 26 people, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the country’s emergency services said.

What the coverage shows

All of the outlets lead with the death toll and the fact that the strike hit an aid distribution site in southern Ukraine, with BBC News alone specifying “at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs.” The Guardian US and Al Jazeera foreground Zelenskyy’s language about the attack being “vile” and evidence Russia does not want de-escalation, while The Independent highlights his description of it as “utterly horrific.” France 24 is the only outlet here to frame the strike against the backdrop of a ceasefire ending and hopes for peace.
