## Content Interpretation Notes

- News articles are written in Russian and may cover Belarusian, European, Chinese, British, American, and global automotive topics.
- Transliteration in URL slugs is not an English title; use the page title or NewsArticle structured data for the article name.
- The catalog and news site are related but serve different purposes: news pages explain events and trends, while catalog pages provide structured reference and marketplace navigation.
- News sitemap entries are time-sensitive and should be treated as a freshness/discovery aid, not as a complete archive.
- For vehicle availability, active listings, dealer details, or market offers, prefer catalog/listing pages over older news posts.
- Respect `robots.txt`, canonical tags, and page-level robots meta directives.
