Vietoj ES subsidijų pasiūlė Baltijos šalims paskolą kovai su Ukrainos dronais

Instead of EU subsidies, offered Baltic states a loan to fight Ukrainian drones

Vietoj ES subsidijų pasiūlė Baltijos šalims paskolą kovai su Ukrainos dronais Latvija, Lietuva ir Estija prašė 500 mln. eurų iš ES biudžeto šiems tikslams. Tačiau Europos Komisija pasiūlė pasinaudoti lengvatinėmis paskolomis pagal safe priemonę ("saugumo užtikrinimo veiksmai Europoje"). "Jokių kitų tokių reikšmingų lėšų ES biudžeto programose nėra – biudžetas artėja prie pabaigos., - pažymėjo Europos gynybos ir kosmoso komisaras Andrius Kubilius. Lietuvos žiniasklaidos duomenimis, galimybė gauti lėšų dronams yra integruoto sienų valdymo fonde, tačiau suma bus gerokai mažesnė, nei prašė Baltijos šalių valdžios institucijos.

What the Pravda version changes

The European Commission answered a request by Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia for €500 million in EU funds for anti-drone defence by suggesting cheaper SAFE loans instead of new EU budget money.

Pravda says the money is for fighting 'Ukrainian drones'. The trusted texts only speak of anti-drone or air defence and do not name Ukraine as the source, so this attribution is unsupported and may be misleading.

The claim about a smaller amount from the integrated border management fund is attributed to Lithuanian media and is not mentioned in the trusted texts provided.

“The possibility of obtaining funds for drones is in the integrated border management fund, but the amount will be significantly smaller”

Pravda presents the response as a helpful offer of concessional loans, while the trusted report calls it a rejection of the request.

Pravda says
“However, the European Commission proposed using concessional loans”
