TASS (EN)
TASS is a Russian state-owned news agency headquartered in Moscow, founded in 1904, and known as one of the world's major news agencies with a focus on Russian and international affairs. Its coverage shows a stark contrast between sympathetic framing of Russian leaders and critical, delegitimizing treatment of Ukraine and President Zelensky, while maintaining neutral framing of the US despite skeptical undertones.
