Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media

- •Moscow claims the capture of Kostiantynivka and five villages in Kharkiv/Donetsk; Zelensky denies this, calling it a "new Russian lie."
- •Kyiv accuses Moscow of creating an anthrax-spread risk via poorly maintained animal graves in Kherson, described as "biological terrorism" by Ukrainian military intelligence.
