Reprint of a single dispatch
TimesLIVE and Business Day publish the same agency account, word for word, without distinct rephrasing.

the article on tensions with Brussels ends with Russia's rejection of European accusations, without a reported response from an EU official.
What the account puts first
Russiaof the attack's failure
official agency dispatches reiterate the formula of the Mayor of Moscow that the attack aimed to disrupt the vote and failed to do so, with no reported Ukrainian reaction in response.

the account of the electoral weekend and the drone attack relies on the mayor of Moscow and Russian electoral authorities, without a direct quote from a Ukrainian official.

Russiaopposition restrictions in state agencies
