Interfax
Russian privately-owned, pro-Kremlin lean
Interfax is a Moscow-based wire service founded in 1989 as Russia's first non-state news agency, nominally privately owned by its senior management. Despite its independent origins, it operates inside Russia's tightly controlled media environment and has drawn criticism for relaying Kremlin-aligned narratives, particularly during the war in Ukraine. Because Russia-U.S. relations improved under Trump's second term, Interfax's coverage of the Trump administration has been mostly neutral rather than adversarial.
