Dominant frame portrays US as applying unilateral pressure on Ukraine (e.g., 'US ramps up pressure on Ukraine to make concessions', 'Zelensky says US too often asks Ukraine, not Russia, for concessions'). The 'villain' role is assigned to the US/Trump, with Ukraine as the pressured 'hero'.
The framing benefits actors seeking to drive a wedge in the US-Ukraine alliance and to portray Ukraine's Western partners as unreliable or coercive, potentially shifting blame for war outcomes.
