Barely covered it

Russia (22 of the usual ~73), Ukraine (3 of the usual ~14), Belarus, the Caucasus and Central Asia (1 of the usual ~8)

Headlines are grouped into events automatically, by meaning: an event gathers different outlets' news about the same thing. We claim nothing — we only show who wrote what and when. “More” and “less than usual” compare with how much this part of the world usually writes about events many others cover.
