Where the versions diverge
Russian and Ukrainian sources convey the substance of the FT report in the same way. Russian agencies add Moscow's position that arms supplies prolong the conflict and drag NATO into it; RBC-Ukraine adds the context of worsening relations between Kyiv and Washington and the delay of Patriot deliveries. RBC-Ukraine writes that Ukraine has already been "allowed" to make such purchases, Russian agencies that NATO "will allow" it. Independent sources in the selection do not report it.
What Russia reports
automatic summary RIA Novosti and TASS, citing the Financial Times, report that NATO will allow Ukraine to buy weapons, ammunition and military equipment through its Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA); the paper cites the agency's director of support to operations Jacqueline Borsboom. TASS writes that this could let Kyiv receive supplies faster and more cheaply, and its English-language version adds that last week the NSPA held an event in Kyiv for 150 Ukrainian companies. RIA Novosti notes that the scheme is seen as an alternative to bilateral initiatives and gives Russia's position: arms supplies to Ukraine hinder a settlement, directly involve NATO countries in the conflict and are "playing with fire"; TASS says they only prolong the conflict.
“Издание пишет, что такая схема закупок рассматривается как альтернатива двусторонним инициативам.”
“По информации газеты, это может позволить Киеву получать поставки быстрее и по более низким ценам”
“last week NSPA held an event in Kiev for 150 Ukrainian companies”
“Россия считает, что поставки вооружений Украине мешают урегулированию, напрямую вовлекают страны НАТО в конфликт и являются "игрой с огнем".”

What Ukraine reports
automatic summary RBC-Ukraine, citing the Financial Times, writes that Ukraine has been allowed to buy weapons, ammunition and equipment through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), which helps alliance members buy faster and more cheaply; the agency's chief operating officer Jacqueline Borsboom says Ukraine will get a more structured mechanism and access to an already established industrial base. Citing Reuters, the outlet adds that Ukraine gains access to the NSPA amid worsening relations with the US, and recalls a Washington Post report that the Trump administration has not approved the transfer of Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine.
“Це дає Україні можливість використовувати більш структурований механізм”
“Reuters додає, що доступ до NSPA Україна отримує на тлі погіршення відносин зі США.”
