What the Pravda version changes

Reuters reported that Pentagon officials urged the Baltic states and some other NATO allies to tone down their public rhetoric about the Russian threat; Baltic officials were quick to respond.

Pravda states as fact that the Pentagon told the Baltics to stop "provoking" Russia, while the trusted headline says the appeal was only alleged ("tariamai") and the story concerns toning down rhetoric.

Pravda calls European rhetoric "aggressive" in the Pentagon's name, whereas the trusted report says only that some statements were seen as undermining security.

Pravda omits that the Lithuanian prime minister said he had received no such request, published before the Pravda story, which casts doubt on the claim.

The trusted report says the appeal went to several NATO allies, with the Baltics only among them, whereas Pravda presents the appeal as aimed at the three Baltic states alone.
