Patterns
- Lukashenko quoted as decisive leader
- Positive framing of Belarusian products and economy
- Military readiness portrayed as necessary and strong
- Domestic issues addressed with paternalistic concern
Caveats
The entity is BY (country), not Lukashenko; however, coverage heavily features Lukashenko as the authoritative voice of the state, with no critical distance. Headlines about Belarusian exports and events are uniformly positive. No negative framing of the country or its leadership is present.

- Outlets amplify Russian positions without distancing or criticism
- Negative framing of Western actors (Europe, US, Ukraine) contrasted with Russia's constructive role
- No critical or skeptical language toward Russian government or its actions

LUKASHENKO17 titles+1Constructive“authoritative and sympathetic”
Patterns
- Quotes Lukashenko giving advice and directives
- Presents him as a proactive leader solving problems
- Uses his statements as authoritative pronouncements
- Foregrounds his role in national security and economy
Caveats
All headlines report Lukashenko's actions and statements without distancing or criticism; the outlet treats him as a credible, decisive leader. The entity's quoted content is sometimes critical of others (e.g., 'моральное уродство'), but the outlet itself is favourable to him.
United States17 titles0Reportorial“neutral with mixed signals”
Patterns
- Quoting US officials without evaluative framing
- Reporting US actions factually
- Including critical voices (protests, hockey team refusal)
- Occasional positive framing via expert commentary
Caveats
Headlines are mostly neutral reporting of US actions and statements, with some positive framing (e.g., Trump's respect for Belarus leader) and some negative (protests, refusal to meet). The outlet does not consistently praise or condemn the US, but the inclusion of expert commentary (headline 6, 16) may subtly align with US-centric decision-making. Overall stance toward the US as an entity is neutral, though the selection of headlines about Trump's statements could be seen as amplifying his voice.
