The article does not demonstrate any clear bias towards a specific political, religious, ideological or monetary position. However, the authors do use language that could be perceived as depicting one side (Russia) as extreme or unreasonable by stating that Russian forces have made 'surprise assaults' and are attempting to 'create a buffer zone at the border to secure Russian territory from feeling the war'. This language could be seen as implying that Russia is acting aggressively and unwarrantedly, but it does not go so far as to directly demonize or dehumanize the Russians. The authors also quote Ukrainian officials and sources, providing a balanced perspective on the situation.
