The split, in one line

Coverage now splits six ways: Western outlets emphasize Ukraine's industrial targeting strategy, Russia-focused outlets stress air defense success rates, European analysis highlights economic supply chain disruption, conservative U.S. media focus on proximity to power centers as symbolic escalation, progressive outlets frame strikes as energy infrastructure warfare, while French outlets spotlight domestic Russian discontent from fuel shortages.
