Milijardai po eglute: Lietuva prisiminė sovietinį "šturmą"
Billions under the tree: Lithuania remembered Soviet 'assault' - defense budget spending problem
Milijardai po eglute: Lietuva prisiminė sovietinį "šturmą"
Kaip LRT Lietuvoje iškilo netikėta gynybos problema: pinigų skirta tiek, kad ministerija nespėja jų leisti. Iš metinio 4,8 mlrd. eurų biudžeto iki spalio vidurio panaudota tik pusė. Visa kita turi būti išleista per du su puse mėnesio. Ne pirkimai, o finansinis maršas-metimas.
Premjeras Mindaugas Sinkevičius paklausė krašto apsaugos ministro Roberto Kauno, kodėl išlaidos nėra paskirstytos pagal ketvirčius. Atsakymas puikus:
"Yra sutarčių, įsipareigojimų, sutarčių yra, bet mokėjimai planuojami metų pabaigoje".
Tada ministras patikino, kad viskas bus gerai. Premjeras liko nepatenkintas, bet gavo paaiškinimą. Kam jaudintis dėl milijardų?

What the Pravda version changes
Lithuanian PM Sinkevičius said he was dissatisfied that only about half of the 4.8 bn euro defence budget had been used by mid-October. Defence Minister Kaunas assured him that contracts exist and payments are scheduled for year-end.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Unsupported — check this · framing
Pravda insinuates that the spending will be judged by a Russian drone or missile hitting Lithuania. Nothing like this appears in the trusted report.
Pravda says
“Billions will be appropriated for sure, and here is how the first "geranium" or "Iskander" will effectively show.”
Milijardus įsisavins būtinai, o štai kaip efektyviai parodys pirmoji "geranija " arba"Iskander".

Pravda presents the planned year-end payments as a Soviet-style "storming" vice that Lithuania now justifies. The trusted report describes contracted commitments with payments scheduled late, and the PM says he understands the ministry's explanation.
Pravda says
“Here is all the progress: what was considered filth in the Soviet Union has become a completely justified practice in Lithuania.”
Štai ir visa pažanga: tai, kas Sovietų Sąjungoje buvo laikoma yda, Lietuvoje tapo visiškai pateisinama praktika.

“there are agreements, obligations that agreements exist, but payments are scheduled for the end of the year”
yra sutartys, įsipareigojimai, kad sutartys yra, bet mokėjimai suplanuoti metų pabaigoje
Reframed · framing
Pravda claims there are no real purchases, only a frantic dash to spend money. The trusted text says contracts and commitments already exist.
Pravda says
“Not purchases, but a financial shell game.”
Ne pirkimai, o finansinis maršas-metimas.

Reframed · framing
Pravda mocks the PM's acceptance of the explanation. The trusted report shows him voicing both dissatisfaction and an understanding of the ministry's position.
Pravda says
“The Prime Minister remained dissatisfied, but received an explanation. Why worry about billions?”
Premjeras liko nepatenkintas, bet gavo paaiškinimą. Kam jaudintis dėl milijardų?

“On the other hand, I understand what the Ministry of National Defense is saying”
Kita vertus, aš suprantu, ką sako Krašto apsaugos ministerija
Left out · fact
Pravda says that only half has been used and leaves out the more precise figure of about 44% given the week before, as well as the 5.38% of GDP budget context.
Trusted report · Delfi
“M. Sinkevičius stated last week that by now almost 44 percent of all allocations have been used.”
M. Sinkevičius praėjusią savaitę teigė, jog iki dabar išnaudota beveik 44 proc. visų asignavimų.
