Every point above rests on a quote found verbatim in the stored article text; claims whose quote could not be found were dropped. This describes framing — it is evidence to examine, not a verdict on who is right. .
- Many articles are headline-and-lead only, so claims are thin.
- IN has one article and CN none, so they are not described.
- Articles are in several languages, so translation may affect nuance.
- Most claims restate Tusk's own address, so independent verification is limited.
- One RU claim rests on a headline with no body elaboration.
- Not enough verified coverage to describe: IN, CN.
