• verbs of positive action: 'noted', 'stressed', 'supported', 'invited'
• entity quoted directly as authoritative source
• coverage of diplomatic meetings as successful and friendly

All headlines present Putin as a proactive, respected leader; no negative or skeptical language. The outlet amplifies his statements without qualification, and third-party praise (e.g., Xi Jinping's 'friendly and fruitful' characterization) reinforces positive framing.

• highlights US strategic failures via third-party sources
• reports US actions with distancing or critical framing
• includes US domestic controversies and legal troubles
• occasional neutral or factual reporting on US statements

Many headlines focus on Trump as a person rather than the US as a country, and some are neutral or factual. The negative stance is inferred from selection of failures and controversies, but the outlet does not use overtly hostile language toward the US itself.

• Entity quoted as authoritative source on policy and diplomacy
• Entity's actions presented as legitimate and proactive
• Entity's statements amplified without distancing or critique
• Entity's critics or opponents framed negatively

The entity (RU) is consistently treated as a credible actor; its officials are quoted without skepticism. The outlet's own vocabulary ('назвал терактом', 'указал на неизбежность') aligns with the entity's framing. No negative or distancing language toward RU is present.

• Trump is quoted directly and without distancing verbs
• Trump's actions and statements are reported as consequential
• Positive framing of Trump's diplomatic interactions with Xi Jinping
• Negative or adversarial framing of Trump's stance toward Iran is reported neutrally

The outlet treats Trump as a major global actor whose statements and actions are newsworthy and often reported without skepticism. Headlines like 'Си Цзиньпин принял приглашение Трампа' and 'Лавров указал на взаимоуважение в отношениях Путина и Трампа' suggest a respectful framing. However, some headlines (e.g., 'Трамп опубликовал ИИ-изображение с бывшими чиновниками в тюремных робах') could be seen as neutral or slightly critical, but overall the coverage is favorable or neutral-positive.

• Zakharova's statements are presented as factual assertions without distancing verbs
• Headlines use her name as the subject of active, declarative verbs (назвала, указала, заявила, раскрыла)
• Her criticisms of Western/Ukrainian actors are amplified without counterbalance
• No headlines question, challenge, or negatively frame her claims

Zakharova is consistently quoted making strong accusations against Western/Ukrainian actors, but the outlet itself never distances from her statements; she is treated as a credible official voice. The positive stance reflects the outlet's alignment with her framing, not endorsement of her targets.
