This study investigates the framing of the situation in Ukraine in influential daily newspapers from the US, Great Britain and Germany looking at the coverage from march 2014 and february 2022. In doing so it aims to clarify how the influential daily newspapers of Germany, Great Britain and the United States respectively covered the tensions between Russia and Ukraine? For this purpose a qualitative media analysis is conducted using elements of Entman's framing theory and Lichtenstein's additions to it to guide the research. The analysis of 50 articles found up to eight frames on international tensions, three on economics and three on the situation inside Ukraine within the newspaper coverage of each respective state. The comparison found surprisingly little differences in the frames and their elements ( problem definition, situational causes, personal cause/blame, treatment recommendation).
