“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.

    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?

          A website can of course change its content any time without stating so. There are no facts to be had here other that I acknoledge that the current version reads different from my memory of the version I read yesterday. I have no reason to lie about that and am also confused why they would change the interview that much without clearly marking it. You can of course chose to believe that I am lying, but that is quite rude.

            This is the same weird pattern of conversation we and a couple of others have had in this community in another thread. I am sorry, but your behaviour is again very weird, and it seems even more so as it comes from a moderator. I don’t understand why you are getting offensive if someone else has a different opinion or corrects you of a simple mistake everyone of us happens to make once in a while.

            I have just said what the facts are as it’s clearly visible on the site. That’s not rude, and I have not ‘chosen to believe’ something. I have nothing more to add here.

              Ok this is starting to get bad faith. I went back on my original statement after checking the website again and realizing it was altered from what I remember, and even tried to find proof for that in the internet achive (which sadly doesn’t seem to exist). And you double down in accusing me of lying about my own memory? Like are you even aware of what you are writing? How can I make a “mistake” about my own memory?

              Can I prove that the website was altered? No. But insisting that I am lying about my own memory is really rude.
