Media uses that tactic often, where they always platform the statements by Israel (that are very frequently lies that aren’t challenged at all even though it would be very easy to) but much less frequently from Palestinian sources. This makes it really easy for Israel to spread its narrative while Palestinians remain unheard and misunderstood.
“Annexes” literally means “takes control of illegally.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."
It's not like left article title is wrong. That's what Russia is doing, illegally annexing Ukrainian land.
But the objective truth is that Putin has illegally annexed Ukrainian land. It is what is happening in reality, without using any "good guys bad guys" wording.
It seens your issue is more that the same objectivity isn't used in the second article.
"Formerly Ukraine Oblast/territories referendum results choose joining Russia, with overwhelming celebratory joy. NATO declares democracy only valid when NATO approves of result."
