## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the same military exercise in Poland with similar factual framing, but the left and center emphasize post-security after a ceasefire, while the right highlights Franco-British leadership and the absence of the United States.

**Common ground**

- Exercise Koalicja takes place in Poland from November 9 to 22
- Around 2,800 soldiers from about ten countries participate, including a majority of French troops
- The exercise is led by French and British leadership
- It aims to test the coalition's capacity to deploy in the event of a ceasefire in Ukraine

**Differences**

- The right explicitly mentions the absence of the United States, a point absent from the left and center articles provided
- The center places the exercise in a broader news context (drones intercepted toward Moscow, negotiations under U.S. mediation in Abu Dhabi), an angle absent from the other angles
- The left emphasizes security guarantees after the cessation of hostilities, a framing less developed on the right
