Where the versions diverge
All groups convey the timing and venue of the signing in the same way. The source's words that Trump is "furious" at Ukraine and wants Zelensky gone are quoted by RBC-Ukraine and Meduza; TASS does not quote them but links the story to Trump's call for someone else to negotiate for Ukraine and to Peskov's point about a "legitimate representative".
What Russia reports
automatic summary TASS, in its English-language feed, relays The Atlantic: Trump would like the deal concluded at the G20 summit in Miami in mid-December and pictures himself between Putin and Zelensky at the signing, "even if he has to strong-arm Ukraine to do it". The agency adds that on 19 October Trump said someone else should negotiate for Ukraine, and quotes Peskov on the importance of a "legitimate representative of the authorities".
