“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.

    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”.

    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.

          You have as little proof of that as I do. And later editing of articles and headlines without any note of that is sadly extremely common with online media especially when is comes to breaking news where the outlets complete with each other to have exclusive scopes on their website faster than others.

            Euractiv (as many others) does that frequently, and any edit is “time-stamped” automatically as soon as the editor edits. This is the original version.

            (And this competition for scoops is primarily on the agency level, not here with Euractiv which aims at the public audience. I used to work for agencies and know that first-hand, but also agencies clearly mark any edits with time and date, that I can tell you for sure.)
