What the coverage shows
All four outlets centre on Russian drone strikes on Kyiv, and Reuters and France 24 both pair the attack with Zelenskyy’s US and UN diplomacy. Reuters and Al Jazeera explicitly frame the strikes in relation to Zelenskyy’s talks with Trump, while France 24 foregrounds that he was due to address the UN General Assembly. Channel 4 News is the most stripped-back, mentioning only the drone attack on Kyiv and its timing during the morning rush hour.
