Read briefCoverage shape
The desk should avoid generic war churn and focus on useful, source-led explainers and briefs.
Keep Ukrainian, Russian and third-party claims attributed. Treat single-source claims as reported, not settled.
Energy, displacement, casualties and infrastructure damage need source names, dates and caveats where figures are early or disputed.
Track talks, sanctions, arms deliveries and aid decisions as public decisions with clear evidence trails.
