What is happening

What the sources report

Pentagon officials have in recent weeks asked several NATO member states to moderate their rhetoric regarding the threat posed by Russia.[1]

Statements by European leaders and officials undermine the security of the European continent, according to four sources cited by Reuters.[1]

Among the countries that received messages are Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.[1]

Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon's head of policy, was one of the US officials who conveyed the message, according to the sources.[1]

A Pentagon official said that private conversations between allies are private and that they will not comment on the claims.[1]

Where they differ

CNN Greece writes that Colby cited as an example statements presenting Russia as «cornered like a mouse in the corner», while Ta Nea writes that he referred to reports of Russia «cornered like a rat».[2][3]
