• Quotes Russian officials as authoritative sources
• Foregrounds Putin's diplomatic engagements and leadership
• Uses neutral or positive framing for Russian state actions
• Avoids critical or distancing language toward Russian entities

The outlet treats Russian state actors (Putin, Lavrov, Peskov) as credible spokespersons, amplifying their statements without skepticism. The entity 'RU' is consistently framed as a legitimate international actor. No negative evaluative language is used toward Russia.

• Quotes US officials (Rubio, Trump) as authoritative sources
• Reports US actions and statements without evaluative framing
• Mixes positive developments (deals, approvals) with neutral or critical content
• No outlet-originated negative descriptors for the US

The entity is 'US' as a country, not a single official; coverage is largely factual and quotes US figures without outlet judgment. Headlines 5 and 20 contain mild irony or criticism but are attributed to Trump himself, not the outlet's voice. Overall stance is neutral.

• Putin is shown as a decisive leader taking actions (discussing, supporting, calling, thanking, ordering)
• Putin's statements are reported as authoritative and newsworthy without distancing verbs
• Putin is portrayed as a statesman engaging with foreign leaders (Xi, Tokayev, Lukashenko, Mirziyoyev)
• Putin's initiatives (easing citizenship, forgiving debts) are presented as benevolent

Headline 11 quotes a foreign official (Pistorius) calling Putin's words a 'deceptive maneuver', but this is a single outlier and the outlet does not endorse that framing; the overwhelming majority of headlines treat Putin as a credible, active leader.

• reports Trump's statements as authoritative news
• uses neutral or positive framing of Trump's actions
• includes some critical or skeptical headlines
• occasional ironic or humorous tone

Headlines 5 and 11 introduce some skepticism, but overall Trump is treated as a credible news source and his actions are reported without distancing language; the outlet's stance is mildly favorable.
