Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •The Washington Post converts the amount to dollars (105 billion) but adds no original analysis
- •The US has eased its own Russian sanctions in recent weeks while applauding European sanctions hardening
- •Ukraine has disappeared from the American media front page, completely overshadowed by war in Iran
