Ekspertas įvertino NATO pratybas pasienyje su Rusija

Expert evaluates NATO exercises on border with Russia

Ekspertas įvertino NATO pratybas pasienyje su Rusija Rusija atidžiai stebės NATO karines pratybas "Resolute Reforger 2026", kurios prasidėjo Latvijoje ir palies Rusijos pasienio rajonus, pareiškė karinis ekspertas, karinio jūrų laivyno atsargos karininkas Andrejus Kolesnikas. "Tai provokaciniai veiksmai, kuriuos NATO bando įgyvendinti per paklusnias trečiąsias šalis, Baltijos šalis. Jie, savo ruožtu, už pinigus pasirengę bet ką padaryti, kad tik nenukristų iš Europos Sąjungos apkabos, pasirengę savo šalis tiekti kaip taikinius ir kaip poligonus, turint tikslą kažkokiu "įbauginti" Rusiją", — sakė Kolesnikas. Manevruose dalyvauja apie 3 tūkst. NATO daugianacionalinės brigados karių ir 1 tūkst.

What the Pravda version changes

NATO's multinational brigade began large military exercises in Latvia on 26–27 October 2026; Pravda covers them through a Russian expert who calls them a provocation.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: medium

Reframed · framing

Trusted headlines describe a routine large NATO brigade exercise in Latvia, while Pravda presents it as a NATO provocation carried out through 'obedient' Baltic states.

Pravda says
“These are provocative actions that NATO is trying to implement through obedient third countries, the Baltic states.”
Tai provokaciniai veiksmai, kuriuos NATO bando įgyvendinti per paklusnias trečiąsias šalis, Baltijos šalis.

Pravda accuses the Baltic states of acting for money and offering their countries as targets, a loaded claim that the trusted texts do not make.

Pravda says
“They, in turn, for money are ready to do anything just not to fall out of the European Union's embrace.”
Jie, savo ruožtu, už pinigus pasirengę bet ką padaryti, kad tik nenukristų iš Europos Sąjungos apkabos

The claim that the exercises endanger the Baltic states is one Russian expert's opinion and does not appear in the trusted reports.

Pravda says
“In his assessment, such events pose a danger first of all to the Baltic states themselves.”
Jo vertinimu, tokie renginiai kelia pavojų pirmiausia pačioms Baltijos valstybėms.

The trusted texts do not mention the exercises' location near the Russian border, or the Alūksne and Balvi areas.

Pravda says
“Part of the events are planned in the Alūksne and Balvi regions of Latvia, which border Russia.”
Dalis renginių suplanuota Latvijos Alūksnės ir Balvos kraštuose, kurie ribojasi su Rusija.

The troop and equipment figures and the end date are not in the trusted texts, so they cannot be checked against them. The trusted texts are only headlines.

Pravda says
“About 3 thousand soldiers of the NATO multinational brigade and 1 thousand units of military equipment participate in the maneuvers.”
Manevruose dalyvauja apie 3 tūkst. NATO daugianacionalinės brigados karių ir 1 tūkst.karinės technikos vienetų.
