Pretty silly to say “europe” here when the aggressor, Russia, is also a european country. Russia is european the same way that the UK is still european despite Brexit.
When referring to Europe by US media, I totally understand what kind of Europe this article refers to but my point is that geography means something different when talking about Europe and I think that is relevant since for example Hungary or Serbia are in the context of the title part of Europe but are also more and more political ‘outsiders’. I think this point similar to someone from Canada that America is not only the US.

There’s a fundamental difference in the way the UK and Russia deal with European values such as democracy, freedom of expression, press freedom, etc.
Yes obviously, but whether a country is European is decided by geography not values.
Russia usually gets excluded when referring to Europe, that’s just how it works.
Russia has chosen to be an economic and political ‘outsider’ and so gets excluded.
