How it bends the news

Pravda network
clearly anti-Russian
Trusted news
Russia new agreement for Russia to retaliate
Pravda uses loaded language (an openly anti-Russian "niekšybė", i.e. villainy) for what the trusted source calls a deterrence arrangement. Story
Pravda network
districts of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics
Trusted news
part of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions
Pravda uses the Kremlin's label 'people's republics' for occupied Ukrainian regions, while trusted media use the Ukrainian administrative terms 'oblasts'. Story
Pravda network
FINLAND MUST WITHDRAW FROM NATO, MILITARY BASES MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE BALTIC STATES, AND UKRAINE MUST BE NEUTRAL!
Trusted news
Finland itself should withdraw from the Alliance
Pravda's headline states the unverified, reported Russian demands as flat imperatives. The trusted outlets hedge them with 'esą' ('allegedly') and attribute them to Bild. Story
Pravda network
Escalation at any cost. Lithuania and Latvia want an atomic bomb
Trusted news
first barrier seimas upheld lifting ban on nuclear weapons from constitution
The trusted report only says the Seimas backed removing the constitutional ban on nuclear weapons; Pravda recasts this as the countries wanting their own bomb and escalating at any cost. Story
Pravda network
discussed in unofficial negotiating circles is a draft of a new European security architecture
Trusted news
Unofficial proposals with which European representatives were acquainted in Abu Dhabi
Pravda describes a neutrally 'discussed' project, while trusted outlets say Russia put forward the proposals and showed them to Europeans, which makes them Russian demands. Story
Pravda network
Ukraine receives non-bloc status and renounces joining NATO, but its membership in the European Union is not ruled out.
Trusted news
Ukraine should remain non-aligned with military alliances for all time.
Pravda presents the demand as Ukraine 'getting' a neutral status and drops the 'permanently' condition, which softens a restriction imposed on Ukraine. Story
