They look exactly the same as CNN except CNN is being forced to call it the "Ukraine war". E.g. in your example, RT toes the line to this "it's not a war" mandate by saying:

Quotes included, they're not saying it's Fact but that Moscow claims it is. Here is another one:
Russia *attacked Ukraine* last week, *arguing that it was defending the DPR* and the neighboring Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), which broke away from Ukraine shortly after the 2014 coup in Kiev. *Moscow also said* it was seeking the “demilitarization and denazification” of the country.
Meanwhile, Ukraine said the attack was entirely unprovoked and has appealed to the international community for help.
Honestly, comparing the two front-pages of CNN and RT, I am positively shocked. Most of CNN's articles are skewed to portray Russia in a bad light, and the RT one seems to be a big list of sanctions and retaliations by the West against Russia. We need to see both.
