“If we are talking about peacekeepers, then we are walking into the Russian trap because they don’t want peace,” the EU’s top diplomat told Euractiv in an exclusive interview.

      Did you read the interview? It is like half of the questions she avoids answering.

          Hmm 🤔 Looking at the interview again now, they seem to have further edited and shortend it making it less obvious how much question dodging she seems to have done.

          There is still no real substance in it, but at least it reads less painful than the version from yesterday.

            The posted version was published yesterday, 18 Feb at 17:08, and there is no edited version now as I write this comment. It’s the same version.

              The Internet archive seems to have not captured the old version either, but I am not making it up, and the article does say the the interview was edited for “clarity”.

                Remarks like the one on the site like “What follows is an edited transcript” are done by journalists to signal that the interviewee hasn’t said so literally, because the spoken word is different from the written one. They edit minor things from the transcript. That doesn’t mean that the article has been edited.

                And as we can see from the data on the original site, the article has indeed been not edited.

                  Yes I am aware of that of course, but I find it very insulting that you accuse me of lying about this. Why would I even do that?

                I don’t say you make something up, but they don’t say to have edited for “clarity,” I can’t see this at least (just correct me if I am wrong). They are really referring to the transcript as already said.

                  Fine, it doesn’t use the word “clarity” here:

                  What follows is an edited transcript.

                  🙄

                    Clarity was your word. And the transcript is always edited as someone already explained. But the article doesn’t appear to have been edited indeed. It’s the original version.
