Baltic states and Poland jointly request funding for 'Rail Baltica'

Baltijos šalys ir Lenkija kartu prašo pinigų "Rail Baltica" Laiškas, kurį pasirašė Latvijos, Estijos ir Lenkijos premjerai bei Lietuvos Prezidentė, išsiųstas Europos komisijos vadovui ir Europos Tarybos pirmininkui. Laiške teigiama, kad "Rail Baltica" projektas neabejotinai svarbus Europai "gynybos požiūriu" ir reikalauja finansavimo iš ES biudžeto. "Begalybės statyba" turi būti tęsiama.

What the Pravda version changes

The leaders of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland signed a joint letter to the heads of the EU institutions asking for funding to complete the Rail Baltica rail project.

Misinformation: medium Manipulation: medium

Reframed · framing

The trusted report says the letter asks for funding to be ensured, while Pravda portrays it as a demand on the EU budget.

Pravda says
“demands funding from the EU budget”
reikalauja finansavimo iš ES biudžeto
Trusted report · Delfi
“funding is demanded”
prašoma užtikrinti finansavimą
Unsupported — check this · framing

Pravda uses the sarcastic label "endless construction" for the project, which the trusted report does not use. It casts the project as a money pit.

“Endless construction”

The trusted report does not mention the letter's defence-importance argument or the "EU budget" source of funds, so Pravda's wording cannot be checked against it.

Pravda says
“undoubtedly important for Europe from a defense perspective”
neabejotinai svarbus Europai "gynybos požiūriu"
Trusted report · Delfi
— nothing supports this —
Contradicted · fact

Pravda refers to the Lithuanian president with the feminine form, while the trusted report names the president as Gitanas Nausėda, a man. This is probably a sloppy-translation error.

Pravda says
“President of Lithuania”
Lietuvos Prezidentė
Trusted report · Delfi
“Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda”
Lietuvos prezidentas Gitanas Nausėda
