BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Human-centered framing: the focus is on the victim toll and quotes from Selenskyj, at the expense of a broader military analysis of the Russian drone campaign

Limited coverage of the Russian stance: no official reaction from Moscow is mentioned, nor the context of ongoing diplomatic negotiations

Preference for official Ukrainian sources: regional governor Hanscha and Selenskyj's statements via Telegram and Facebook make up the bulk of the reported information, without independent verification of the toll
