Pravda adds a claim about local security structures' involvement in smuggling and Vilnius refraining from blaming Belarus, which none of the trusted reports mention and which the PM did not say.

Pravda says
“It is noted that when information was revealed about the involvement of local power structures in smuggling, official Vilnius decided to refrain from accusations against Belarus.”
Pažymėtina, kad kai buvo atskleista informacija apie dalyvavimą vietos jėgos struktūrų kontrabandai oficialusis Vilnius nusprendė susilaikyti nuo kaltinimų Baltarusijai.
