Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was asked by Sky News at a press conference in Brussels, Belgium, if he felt he was being made a 'scapegoat' by his US counterpart, Donald Trump, for domestic problems including high diesel prices before midterm elections.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same moment, with Zelenskyy’s reaction to a question about Trump framed as the hook. The Guardian US presents it as a video item and includes the question’s wording about being a “scapegoat” for domestic problems, while 60 Minutes uses more heightened language, calling the reaction “stunning” and “peculiar.”
