BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Humanitarian-focused framing: the Ukrainian narrative prioritizes the numerical toll of victims and hourly updates from local authorities

Limited coverage of the Russian position: no Ukrainian media outlet relays comments or justifications from Moscow regarding the strike

Preference for official Ukrainian sources: articles rely almost exclusively on statements from regional officials (Hanzha, Vilkul) and the presidency
