Von der Leyen's plane has had GPS interference, supposedly Russian
Russia's alleged interference has deactivated GPS navigation services as it was about to land at a Bulgarian airport. "We can confirm that there has been GPS interference, but the plane has not had any incident," said spokesman Arianna Podesta.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's plane was allegedly intercepted by Russia and deactivated GPS navigation services as it was about to land at a Bulgarian airport.
According to the 'Financial Times', the Bulgarian authorities have informed Brussels of the suspicion that this flagrant interference has been made by Russia.
"We can confirm that there has been interference in GPS, but the plane has landed without incident," said EU spokeswoman Arianna Podesta, adding that "this incident underlines the importance of the president's current trip."
"We know that threats are a common practice in Russia. This will further strengthen our unwavering commitment to increasing our defensive capabilities and helping Ukraine," he stressed.
