• Quotes Russian officials as authoritative voices
• Frames Russian actions as legitimate and justified
• Uses positive or neutral framing for Russian entities
• Minimal critical distance in reporting on Russia

The outlet consistently treats Russian officials (Putin, Lavrov, etc.) as credible sources, amplifying their statements without skepticism. Headlines about internal affairs (e.g., bridge collapse, journalist detention) are reported factually without negative framing toward the state. The entity is the country RU, and the coverage is broadly favorable, though not overtly celebratory.

• Quoting critics of US actions and policies
• Highlighting internal US dysfunction and scandals
• Using distancing or negative framing for US officials' statements
• Focusing on US failures and controversies

Many headlines are neutral factual reports about US actions, but several explicitly quote critics or highlight internal problems (e.g., calls for mental check of Trump, predictions of chaos, accusations of lying). The outlet does not consistently celebrate or lionize the US; it often amplifies negative assessments from third parties.

• Trump quoted as primary actor making statements and decisions
• Headlines often present Trump's actions as newsworthy without evaluative framing
• Occasional critical framing via third-party quotes or distancing verbs
• Some headlines use dramatic or informal language ('шокировали', 'чертов')

The outlet generally treats Trump as a credible news source, quoting him directly and reporting his statements as facts. However, a few headlines include critical third-party voices (e.g., 'В США рассказали, в чем ошибается Трамп') or informal language that slightly undermines his authority. Overall, the stance is mildly positive, as Trump is the central actor whose words and actions are amplified.

• Zelensky is quoted extensively but often with distancing or critical framing
• Headlines highlight Ukrainian losses, fears, and difficult situations
• Some headlines use dismissive or mocking tone (e.g., 'Что за глупости?')
• Negative selection bias: focus on Ukrainian problems and failures

The outlet is Russian state-affiliated; coverage of Ukraine is predictably adversarial. However, many headlines are factual reports of Zelensky's statements, not overtly hostile. The mocking headline (6) and the framing of Erdogan's 'hard position' (12) tilt toward negative stance.
