The Kyiv Post is an English-language news outlet based in Kyiv and founded in 1995. Its headlines centre on Ukraine and Russia in nearly equal measure, followed by the United States, the Visegrad Group, Iran, the European Union and NATO, and are mostly about security and politics, with military topics leading. Its stance reads as supportive of Ukraine and President Zelensky and consistently hostile toward Russia and Vladimir Putin.
Across the measured period, the outlet is consistently hostile toward Russia and Vladimir Putin, using mocking framing and foregrounding failures, setbacks and alleged wrongdoing. It is supportive of Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky, quoting them as authoritative, though it also covers internal disputes and criticism. Toward Donald Trump and the United States it is mostly skeptical, critical of policy shifts and pressure on Ukraine, with stretches of cautious favour when US support for Ukraine is the story. Viktor Orbán and Hungary drew hostile treatment in spring; NATO and Iran are treated neutrally. Stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
