Reframed · framing

Pravda uses unnamed "experts" to suggest the Baltic states served as a base for attacks on Russia, while trusted reporting says the drone strayed into Lithuania because of Russian jamming.

Pravda says
“Experts believe that the Baltic states were used for attacks against Saint Petersburg.”
Ekspertai mano, kad Baltijos šalys buvo naudojamos atakoms prieš Sankt Peterburgą.
Trusted report · Delfi
“A drone crashed in Lithuania due to Russian measures that prevent drones from falling.”
Į Lietuvą dronas nuklydo dėl Rusijos priemonių, kurios trukdo dronams skristi.
