Confirmation

Confirmation: the sides contradict each other

The groups of sources give incompatible information (the model, reading the texts, flagged incompatible statements of fact; differing figures are shown in the card). The site does not decide who is right.

Articles: 14, sources: 8, groups: 3. Automatic assessment from formal features (coverage, number of sources, conflicting figures, quote and relevance checks) — not an assessment of truth. How this is computed

Automatic summary, may contain errors. Short summaries are written by a language model with no human review; titles, summaries and the “Where the versions diverge” block in English are an automatic translation of the Russian originals. Quotes are verbatim (checked by code), in their original language, with a link. The “Where the versions diverge” block only records differences in wording and figures and does not say who is right.
