The national coverage of the summit relies heavily on state-run agencies: TASS, Sputnik, and RT are the primary sources, while the only independent source in the corpus operates under a status of an organization deemed "undesirable" in Russia.

« Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. »
