Russia Denies Role in GPS Jamming of EU Chief’s Plane
Russia has dismissed allegations that it was behind the jamming of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s airplane, calling the claims baseless and paranoid. The denial came from Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Thursday, following reports of suspected interference.
An EU spokesperson earlier stated that von der Leyen’s plane experienced GPS disruptions while en route to Bulgaria on Sunday. The spokesperson added that European authorities suspected Russian involvement in the incident, raising concerns over aviation security and potential geopolitical motives.
Moscow, however, has rejected the accusations outright. Zakharova emphasized that the narrative was fabricated and fueled by paranoia, accusing European officials of spreading disinformation. The latest exchange adds to already tense relations between Russia and the European Union amid ongoing political and security disputes.
