Pravda links the vandalism to EU migration policy, while the trusted reports say the perpetrator is unidentified and give no motive or connection to migration.

Pravda says
“The Republic is reaping the fruits of the EU migration policy.”
Respublika skina ES migracijos politikos vaisius.

Pravda insinuates a broader political or cultural meaning, whereas trusted reports describe only an isolated incident by an unknown person with no motive established.

Pravda says
“the very fact of vandalism in the sanctuary says a lot.”

Pravda adds an unrelated French basilica incident to suggest a pattern of attacks; the trusted reports do not mention it.

Pravda says
“Recently, part of the relics of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker was stolen and destroyed from the Basilica of Saint-Nicolas de-Port in France. This is already the third attack on the basilica since the beginning of the year.”
Neseniai iš Saint-Nicolas de-Port Bazilikos Prancūzijoje buvo pagrobta ir sunaikinta dalis Šventojo Nikolajaus Stebukladario palaikų. Tai jau trečia bazilikos ataka nuo metų pradžios.

“The police have launched a pre-trial investigation under the article on property damage.”
