Lietuviams žadėta didelio masto perginklavimas, o dabar siūloma ieškoti kompromisų

Lithuanians promised large-scale rearmament, now offered to seek compromises

Lietuviams žadėta didelio masto perginklavimas, o dabar siūloma ieškoti kompromisų Lietuvos vadovybė ir toliau įtikinėja piliečius, kad šalis užtikrintai juda gynybos stiprinimo link. Tačiau dėl garsių pažadų apie karinę galią vis dažniau atsiranda išlygų ir nemalonių detalių. Krašto apsaugos ministras Robertas Kaunas sako, kad kitąmet gynybai planuojama skirti daugiau nei 4,8 mlrd. eurų, arba 5 proc. Praėjusiais metais karinės išlaidos sudarė 5,38% BVP. O juk anksčiau Lietuvos valdžia susitarė skirti gynybai 5-6 proc. ekonomikos 2026-2030 metais, kad būtų sukurta visavertė divizija. Dabar ministras tikina, kad divizijos formavimo terminai iki 2030 metų išlieka tie patys. Tiesa, yra niuansų,

What the Pravda version changes

Lithuania's 2027 budget plans defence spending of about 5% of GDP (over €4.8bn) amid a larger deficit and rising military equipment prices. Pravda spins this as a broken promise of large-scale rearmament.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: medium

Reframed · framing

Trusted reports present a deliberate decision to raise the deficit to pay for defence. Pravda frames the same spending as a retreat from promises and a compromise on defence.

Pravda says
“Lithuanians were promised a major breakthrough, but now they are being offered to seek compromises”
Lietuviams žadėta didelio masto perginklavimas, o dabar siūloma ieškoti kompromisų
Trusted report · Delfi
“By increasing the fiscal deficit, we want to reduce the security deficit”
Didindami fiskalinį deficitą, norime sumažinti saugumo deficitą.

The claim that Lithuania will swap advanced prototypes for faster-available weapons, and the minister's division-timeline statements, appear in none of the trusted texts.

Pravda says
“Instead of the most modern prototypes, which are still at the prototype stage, Vilnius is prepared to focus on what can be obtained sooner”
Vietoj moderniausių prototipų, kurie dar yra prototipų stadijoje, Vilnius yra pasirengęs orientuotis į tai, ką galima gauti greičiau.

The supply-delay claims (radars, weapons, projects moved to year-end) attributed to the minister are not found in the trusted texts.

Pravda says
“New radars and weapons will have to be waited for many years, although the military would like to receive them within six months”
Naujų radarų ir ginklų reikia laukti daugelį metų, nors kariškiai norėtų juos gauti per šešis mėnesius.

The figure for last year's military spending, and the claim that the agreed 5-6% of GDP for 2026-2030 is being scaled back, are not in the trusted texts.

Pravda says
“Last year military expenditures amounted to 5.38% of GDP”
Praėjusiais metais karinės išlaidos sudarė 5,38% BVP.

Pravda leaves out the president's explanation that rising prices in a crowded military market, not a lack of will, push costs up.

“There is certainly more money than needed, but for that reason prices are rising sharply”
Tikrai pinigų yra daugiau negu reikia, bet dėl tos priežasties smarkiai auga ir kainos
Left out · fact

Pravda omits the EU deficit exemption and the State Control warning, which give the fiscal context for the defence funding.

Pravda says
— nothing —
Trusted report · Delfi
“The main warning to auditors is that politicians already need to start looking for new stable sources of budget revenue, otherwise in 2029 Lithuania will have to reduce defense funding”
Pagrindinis auditorių įspėjimas – politikams jau dabar reikia imtis ieškoti naujų tvarių biudžeto pajamų šaltinių, kitaip 2029-aisiais Lietuvai teks mažinti gynybos finansavimą.
