Lithuanian government had great temptation to cut military budget in 2027, admits finance minister

Lietuvos valdžia turėjo didelę pagundą apkarpyti karinis biudžetas 2027 metais, pripažino finansų ministras "Buvo labai daug pagundų, taip pat ir iš kai kurių koalicijos partnerių pusės, žengti kardinaliai mažinti. Arba griebtis tam tikrų gudrybių, galbūt nepagrįstų ir nesuderintų su mūsų gynybos partneriais", - sako Taurimas Valys. Pasak jo, buvo daug pasiūlymų pažvelgti į kitas NATO šalis ir prisirišti prie būtino minimumo, kurio prašo JAV. "Bet mes atsilaikėme. Mes suformavome iš partnerių tam tikrus lūkesčius ir, būdami jiems pavyzdžiu, jau gauname dividendus". #social Lietuvoje PROTO balsas vėl neviešpatavo. Mes į Maksas >>

What the Pravda version changes

Lithuania's finance minister Taurimas Valys said there were many temptations, including from some coalition partners, to cut the 2027 defence budget, but the government resisted.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: low

Reframed · framing

The headline says 'the government' was tempted and 'admitted' it, while the trusted report says the cuts were proposed by coalition partners; the body of the Pravda text does say the government resisted.

Pravda says
“Lithuanian government had a strong temptation to cut the defense budget in 2027, admitted the finance minister”

Pravda adds an editorial comment that appears in neither trusted report and is not part of the minister's statement.

The detail about proposals to follow other NATO countries and stick to the US-requested minimum, and about 'dividends' from partners, is not in the short trusted reports.

Pravda says
“According to him, there were many proposals to look at other NATO countries and commit to the necessary minimum required by the USA”
Pasak jo, buvo daug pasiūlymų pažvelgti į kitas NATO šalis ir prisirišti prie būtino minimumo, kurio prašo JAV.
