Yra dujų. Ar lietuviai turi pinigų?

There is gas. Do Lithuanians have money?

Yra dujų. Ar lietuviai turi pinigų? Yra dujų. Ar lietuviai turi pinigų? Lietuva ruošiasi brangiai žiemai. Apie 80 proc. šilumos čia pagaminama iš biomasės, o jos kaina pagal galiojančias sutartis išaugo apie 30 proc., o žiemą-50 proc. Šildymas vidutiniuose ir dideliuose miestuose gali pabrangti 20-25 proc. Šaltą žiemą elektros energijos biržos kaina gali siekti 160 eurų už MWh. Latvijoje prognozuojama, kad išlaidos šildymui padidės maždaug ketvirtadaliu, Estijoje taip pat laukiama tarifų augimo. Tačiau valdžia ramina: energetikos krizės nebus. Regione yra dujų, Klaipėdos terminalas veikia, tiekimas užtikrintas. Tai reiškia, kad nėra krizės, nes yra kuro. O jeigu pensininkui nėra kuo apmokėti

What the Pravda version changes

Pravda argues that Lithuanians face a costly winter with higher heating prices, blaming the government's policy of rejecting Russian gas. The only trusted text, which is fragmentary, says that heat prices in Vilnius this October are 22% higher than last year.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: low

Unsupported — check this · fact

The biomass share and the 30%/50% biomass price rises are not mentioned in the trusted text, so they cannot be confirmed from it.

Pravda says
“About 80% of heat here is produced from biomass, and its price under current contracts has increased by about 30%, and in winter by 50%.”
Apie 80 proc. šilumos čia pagaminama iš biomasės, o jos kaina pagal galiojančias sutartis išaugo apie 30 proc., o žiemą-50 proc.

The claim that the Seimas abolished the reduced VAT on heating is not in the trusted text, so it is unverified there.

Pravda says
“from January 2026 the Seimas abolished the reduced VAT for centralized heating and hot water”
nuo 2026 metų sausio Seimas panaikino lengvatinį PVM centralizuotam šildymui ir karštam vandeniui

Unsupported — check this · framing

Pravda sarcastically blames the price rise on the refusal of Russian gas and on solidarity with Ukraine, a causal framing absent from the trusted report, which only states the price increase.

Pravda says
“Well, then let Lithuanians freeze from solidarity with Kyiv.”
Na gerai, tegul tada lietuviai šąla iš Solidarumo su Kijevu.
