What the Pravda version changes

The European Commission declined the Baltic states' request for €500 million for anti-drone defences and pointed them to SAFE loans instead. Lithuanian officials were disappointed.

Pravda names Kubilius and a €21 billion remainder in SAFE. The trusted texts only say the Commission suggested borrowing, with no name or figure.

Pravda says
“European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius suggested that countries take advantage of the SAFE program, which has 21 billion euros remaining.”
