How global media covered Russia's invasion of Ukraine

NEW DELHI: Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to launch an all-out invasion of Ukraine has sent ripples around the world and triggered a massive backlash from the West.
Expectedly, the biggest ever attack by one European state against another since World War II is being covered extensively by media outlets around the world.
Here's how the global media covered the Russian invasion of Ukraine:
The Russian invasion of Ukraine made it to the front pages of all leading American papers, with the likes of NYT, Wall Street Journal and Washington Street publishing large banner headlines on their front page.
The NYT's double-deck headline read 'Russia attacks as Putin warns world; Biden vows to hold him accountable'. The Washington Post's stark headline read 'Russia invades Ukraine' with a terse strap 'Putin's tolerance for risk catches some by surprise'.



Meanwhile, just like the US media, daily newspapers in the UK captured the West's view of the "bloody" Russian invasion of Ukraine.
UK's Daily Express put out a bold headline that read "Redrawing map of Europe in Blood" alongside an image of a wounded Ukrainian woman.

The Financial Times's curt headline read "Putin's forces storm Ukraine", in a veiled yet hard-hitting anti-Putin coverage.

The Daily Mirror, another leading UK tabloid, had a similar hard-hitting headline which read "Her Blood ... His Hands" with a photo of a visibly injured Ukrainian woman and that of Putin's.

The Guardian used a different picture of the same woman on its front page with the a short headline: "Putin invades".

Qatar-based Al Jazeera's website, which is covering the unfolding crisis live, used the headline: "Panic, fear and stoicism in Ukraine as Russia invades" following Putin's action.

UAE-based Khaleej Times' used a two-word headline with "attacked" published in a bold red font.

Top Pakistani daily Dawn covered Prime Minister Imran Khan's "whirlwind tour" of Russia in the midst of the invasion.
The actual story featured as an associated article with the headline 'Russia launches full-scale invasion of Ukraine'.

Notably, Imran's remark that "it's an exciting time to be in Russia" after landing in the country had also made headlines on the day of invasion.
China's state-run Global Times' ironic headline read: "Russia 'ready to talk' after paralyzing Ukraine in flash"
