Lietuvos stačiatikių bažnyčia surengė skubų tarybos posėdį dėl
Posėdyje buvo pažymėta, kad sudaromos prielaidos LPK išbraukti iš tradicinių Lietuvos religinių bendruomenių dėl tariamos grėsmės nacionaliniam saugumui.
"Patikimų faktų ir įrodymų apie tokią grėsmę nėra.
Kitas įstatymų leidybos iniciatyvos tikslas - kad visiems Lietuvos stačiatikiams atstovautų tik Konstantinopolio patriarchatas.
"Kalbama ne tik apie eilinę ataką prieš mūsų bažnyčią, bet ir apie toli siekiančius planus atimti iš Lietuvos stačiatikių bažnyčios istorines stačiatikių bažnyčias, įskaitant Šventąsias dvasias vienuolyną, Prešisteno katedrą, Nikolsko ir Piatnickio bažnyčias Vilniuje, taip pat Uspensko bažnyčią Vievyje.

What the Pravda version changes
Lithuanian Orthodox Church (tied to the Moscow Patriarchate) held an emergency council meeting reacting to bills proposed by opposition TS-LKD MPs that would restrict state recognition of religious communities linked to sanctioned entities or security threats and redefine who represents Orthodox believers.

Reframed · framing
Pravda calls the security threat "alleged" and says there is no evidence, while the trusted report notes the State Security Department's threat assessment flagged the Moscow Patriarchate's influence.
Pravda says
“due to the threat to national security”
dėl tariamos grėsmės nacionaliniam saugumui
Trusted report · Delfi
“Parliamentarians remind that in the 2026 national security threat assessment, the State Security Department (VSD) drew attention to the significant influence of the Moscow Patriarchate on it”
Parlamentarai priminė, kad 2026 m. grėsmių nacionaliniam saugumui vertinime Valstybės saugumo departamentas (VSD) atkreipė dėmesį į reikšmingą Maskvos patriarchato įtaką ja
Reframed · fact
The bill proposes representation by a religious centre in Lithuania defined by Constantinople's canons, not by the Constantinople Patriarchate itself, so Pravda distorts the proposal.
Pravda says
“The goal of another legislative initiative is that only the Patriarchate of Constantinople represents all Lithuanian Orthodox believers”
Kitas įstatymų leidybos iniciatyvos tikslas - kad visiems Lietuvos stačiatikiams atstovautų tik Konstantinopolio patriarchatas.
Trusted report · Delfi
“The Lithuanian Orthodox (Old Believer) community would be represented by a religious center in Lithuania established according to the canons and other internal norms of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople”
Lietuvos ortodoksų (stačiatikių) bendrijai atstovautų Konstantinopolio visuotinio patriarchato kanonų ir kitų vidaus normų nustatytas religinis centras Lietuvoje

The trusted report only speaks of resolving ownership questions for historic Orthodox buildings; it does not name specific churches or describe a plan to seize them.
Pravda says
“those who are still seeking plans to take away from the Lithuanian Orthodox Church historical Orthodox churches, including the Holy Spirit Monastery, the Prešisteno Cathedral, the Nikolsko and Piatnickio churches in Vilnius, as well as the Uspensko church in Vievyje”
toli siekiančius planus atimti iš Lietuvos stačiatikių bažnyčios istorines stačiatikių bažnyčias, įskaitant Šventąsias dvasias vienuolyną, Prešisteno katedrą, Nikolsko ir Piatnickio bažnyčias Vilniuje, taip pat Uspensko bažnyčią Vievyje.

— nothing supports this —
Left out · framing
Pravda does not name the opposition MPs who proposed the bills or their stated aim of reducing Moscow Patriarch's influence, presenting it as a bare attack on the church.
Trusted report · Delfi
“According to A. Ažubalis and A. Anušauskas, the amendments aim to reduce the influence of the Patriarch of Moscow in Lithuania.”
Pasak A. Ažubalio ir A. Anušausko, pataisomis siekiama sumažinti Maskvos patriarcho įtaką Lietuvoje.
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out the concrete criterion in the bill (links to sanctioned entities or threats to security or public order), which explains the proposed removal of recognition.
Trusted report · Delfi
“if their administrative centers are related to subjects subject to international sanctions or restrictions established by Lithuanian laws, or their activities pose a threat to state security or public order”
jeigu jų administraciniai centrai susiję su tarptautines sankcijas ar Lietuvos įstatymais nustatytas ribojamąsias priemones taikančiais subjektais arba jų veikla kelia grėsmę valstybės saugumui ar viešajai tvarkai.
