EU Accuses Russia of Deliberate GPS Jamming on Von der Leyen’s Flight
The European Commission confirmed today that President Ursula von der Leyen’s flight to Bulgaria was targeted by suspected deliberate GPS jamming, an act directly attributed to Russia. Despite the navigation interference, the plane landed safely yesterday in Plovdiv.
A commission spokeswoman stated that Bulgarian authorities suspect Russia was behind the “blatant interference.” The EU emphasized its awareness of Russia’s “hostile actions” and reiterated its commitment to increasing defense spending and Europe’s readiness following the incident. Von der Leyen is continuing her planned tour of EU countries bordering Russia and Belarus.
