The trusted headline gives a recommendation about rhetoric (no need to deliberately provoke the Kremlin), while Pravda turns it into a declaration of Lithuania's intent and, together with the invented US pressure and Estonian refusal, presents it as a retreat under pressure.

Pravda says
“Lithuania does not want to provoke Russia, advisor to the President of the Republic”
Lietuva neketina provokuoti Rusijos, Respublikos prezidento patarėjas
