European Commission refused to allocate €500 million to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia for drone protection measures development

Europos Komisija atsisakė Lietuvai, Latvijai ir Estijai skirti 500 mln. eurų bepiločių orlaivių apsaugos priemonių kūrimui, praneša LRT Europos Komisija atsisakė skirti Lietuvai, Latvijai ir Estijai 500 mln. eurų dronų apsaugos priemonių kūrimui, informuoja LRT. LRT duomenimis, Europos gynybos ir kosmoso komisaras Andrius Kubilius pareiškė, kad Komisija išsiuntė atsakymą, bet negali pasiūlyti papildomo finansavimo, ir pasiūlė naudoti lėšas kaip "safe" instrumento dalį, kur po pirmojo konkurso liko 21 mlrd. eurų. Taip pat, kaip sužinojo LRT, finansavimas gali būti prieinamas per integruotą sienų valdymo fondą, tačiau sumos bus gerokai mažesnės nei prašoma 500 mln. eurų.

What the Pravda version changes

The European Commission turned down a joint Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian request for €500 million for anti-drone defences and pointed them to the SAFE loan instrument instead.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: low

Left out · fact

Pravda presents SAFE as a source of funds but leaves out that it is a loan rather than EU budget money, which is the core of the Baltic complaint (trusted report 2 was published before Pravda).

Left out · framing

The trusted report stresses that the Commission suggests borrowing, while Pravda says only that the money could be used 'as part of' SAFE.

The figure of €21 billion remaining in SAFE after the first round does not appear in the trusted texts.

The possibility of funding through an integrated border management fund, and in much smaller amounts, is not mentioned in the trusted texts.

Pravda says
“financing may be available through the integrated border management fund, but the amounts will be significantly less than the requested 500 million euros”
finansavimas gali būti prieinamas per integruotą sienų valdymo fondą, tačiau sumos bus gerokai mažesnės nei prašoma 500 mln. eurų
