The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

95%

Examples:

  • But with key players like China staying away, and Russian President Vladimir Putin issuing a new ultimatum - demanding Ukraine’s capitulation and calling that a peace proposal - expectations of significant progress are low.
  • Kyiv dismissed that right away as ludicrous.
  • Politicians in Kyiv have been hailing every confirmed participant as a gesture of support. For them, the giant summit should demonstrate to Moscow that the world stands on the side of Ukraine - and of international law.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Absence of China is expected to blunt the potential impact of the summit.
  • Russia has not been invited to the summit.

Deceptions

70%

Examples:

  • Politicians in Kyiv have been hailing every confirmed participant as a gesture of support.
  • size matters when it comes to the summit. But so does the substance.
