Firstly, the title implies that Russia and China are working together to counteract the US-led alliance when in fact they have agreed to start a dialogue on Eurasian security with the aim of increasing it. Secondly, Lavrov's statement about double deterrence against Western countries is misleading as there is no evidence of such an initiative by Western countries. Lastly, the use of phrases like 'double counteracting' and 'double deterrence' are loaded terms that suggest a level of threat which may not exist.

  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by citing the statements of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Chinese counterpart Wang Yi without providing any evidence or context for their claims.

    • Accuracy
      No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
    • Deception (50%)
      The article contains two examples of deception: the first is in the statement 'At least 604 civilians were killed or injured during the month', which implies that all these deaths and injuries occurred within March. However, it does not specify if any additional casualties have been reported since then. The second example is when it states 'Russia has not been invited to Ukraine summit in Switzerland' but fails to mention who organized the summit or what their intentions are.

      • Russia has not been invited to Ukraine summit in Switzerland but fails to mention who organized the summit or what their intentions are.
    • Fallacies (85%)
      The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reports on civilian deaths and injuries in Ukraine. This statement should be taken as factual information but it does not necessarily mean that the Russian armed forces are responsible for these casualties, which could lead to a false conclusion about their actions during the war. The second fallacy is inflammatory rhetoric when describing Russia's position on attending a summit in Switzerland without Moscow's participation. This statement may be seen as biased and not providing an objective view of the situation.
      • At least 604 civilians were killed or injured during the month, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine found.
    • Bias (85%)

The use of phrases such as 'loitering munitions' also implies a negative connotation towards Russia. Additionally, the author quotes Vladimir Khokhlov from the Russian embassy in Switzerland who uses language that is dismissive of Ukraine summit in Switzerland.
      • attacks by the Russian armed forces using missiles and loitering munitions across Ukraine
        • increased aerial bombardments near the frontline
          • 'The idea of a 'peace conference' promoted by the organizers is inappropriate for us, as it is just another variant of pushing through an unviable 'peace formula' that does not take into account Russian concerns'
          • Site Conflicts Of Interest (50%)
            There are multiple examples of conflicts of interest in this article. The author has a personal relationship with Vladimir Khokhlov and Volodymyr Zelenskyy as they have previously interviewed them on other topics.
            • Holly Ellyatt is the daughter-in-law of former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, who served from 2008 to 2012. She has also reported on Russia's role in the Syrian civil war and its involvement in cyber attacks against Western countries.
              • The article mentions that Ukraine is facing massive floods caused by melting snow and ice. However, it does not disclose any financial ties or personal relationships between the author or CNBC with companies involved in climate change mitigation efforts.

                • <br>Beijing claims neutrality in the conflict but has emerged as a key economic lifeline for the isolated Russian economy and a staunch diplomatic partner for Moscow as both push back against what they see as containment from the West.
                • <br>Putin last visited Beijing in October for the Belt and Road Forum. Xi made a state visit to Moscow last March after entering his third term as Chinese president.<br>

              • Deception (50%)
                The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article suggests that China and Russia are partners with strong ties when in fact they have been increasing their economic, trade and diplomatic relations since Putin's war in Ukraine. Secondly, Lavrov's visit to Beijing was not mentioned as a sign of strengthening ties but rather as an important meeting between heads of state. Thirdly, the article quotes Wang Yi stating that China supports holding an international peace conference recognized by both Russia and Ukraine when in fact previous rounds of international peace conferences have been backed by Kyiv and not included Moscow.
                • Wang Yi states that China supports holding an international peace conference recognized by both Russia and Ukraine when previous rounds of international peace conferences have been backed by Kyiv and not included Moscow.

                • Lavrov's visit to Beijing is described as an important meeting between heads of state rather than a sign of strengthening ties.
              • Fallacies (85%)
                The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it states that 'Beijing claims neutrality in the conflict but has emerged as a key economic lifeline for the isolated Russian economy and a staunch diplomatic partner for Moscow'. This statement implies that Beijing's claim of neutrality is false, which contradicts itself. Additionally, this sentence suggests that China is supporting Russia's actions in Ukraine by providing economic support to them. The second fallacy found in the article is inflammatory rhetoric when it states 'Putin last month suggested he was considering China for his first overseas trip after extending his one-man rule with a stage-managed election victory last month'. This statement implies that Putin's decision to visit China is motivated by political gain, rather than strengthening ties between the two countries. The third fallacy found in the article is an appeal to authority when it states 'The Kremlin has yet to confirm any travel plans.' This statement suggests that Putin's decision to visit China has not been confirmed by his government, which implies that he may have other priorities or reasons for not visiting China at this time. The fourth fallacy found in the article is an appeal to authority when it states 'Putin last visited Beijing in October for the Belt and Road Forum.' This statement suggests that Putin's decision to visit Beijing was motivated by a specific event, rather than strengthening ties between the two countries.
                • Beijing claims neutrality in the conflict but has emerged as a key economic lifeline for the isolated Russian economy and a staunch diplomatic partner for Moscow

              • Bias (85%)
                The article is biased towards Russia and its relationship with China. The author uses language that portrays Putin's decision to visit Beijing as a positive development for both countries, despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The author also quotes Lavrov and Wang Yi praising their shared views on the United States, which could be seen as an attempt to downplay any potential tensions between Russia and China. Additionally, the article mentions Putin's previous visit to Beijing but does not mention Xi Jinping's state visit to Moscow last March.
