L. Linkevičius denies that the US demands Lithuania allow Belarus fertilizer transit

L. Linkevičius neigia, kad JAV reikalauja iš Vilniaus leisti Baltarusijos trąšų tranzitą "Galiu jus užtikrinti - ir tai pareiškiu su visa atsakomybe-kad nieko panašaus šiuo metu nevyksta", - teigia Kęstutis Budris. Pasak jo, jis labai nusivylęs Vakarų žiniasklaidos straipsniu, kuriame tvirtinama, kad Trampo administracija daro spaudimą Lietuvai šiuo klausimu, O specialusis prezidento pasiuntinys Džonas Koulas "apčiuopia dirvą". Pasak Budrio, Cole ' as susitikimuose su lietuviais neva "nė karto" nekėlė klausimo dėl baltarusiškų trąšų tranzito.

What the Pravda version changes

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys denied media reports that the Trump administration is pressing Lithuania to allow Belarusian potash fertiliser transit through the port of Klaipėda.

Misinformation: medium Manipulation: low

Contradicted · fact

The Pravda headline attributes the denial to L. Linkevičius, but the trusted reports say it was Foreign Minister Budrys (Pravda's own text also names Budrys).

Unsupported — check this · fact

The claim that Coale never raised the fertiliser question in meetings with Lithuanians does not appear in the trusted reports of the same period.

Pravda says
“According to Budrys, Cole did not raise the issue of Belarusian potash transit in meetings with Lithuanians even once”
Pasak Budrio, Cole ' as susitikimuose su lietuviais neva "nė karto" nekėlė klausimo dėl baltarusiškų trąšų tranzito.

Left out · framing

Pravda never mentions the Klaipėda port or potash, which makes the story vaguer and hides what the alleged pressure was about.
