Lithuania accuses Russia of increasing interference with GPS signals. The number of GPS signal disruption incidents has risen 22-fold to 1,022 in June this year compared to the previous year.
Lithuanian officials point to the presence of over ten Russian facilities in the Kaliningrad enclave that cause radio interference. This could negatively impact Lithuania, aviation, maritime navigation, and scientific research in the region.
In a letter with 13 European Union countries, Lithuania called on the European Commission to take all necessary measures to increase international pressure on the Russian Federation and Belarus.
To prevent such situations, countries propose implementing sanctions against individuals who interfere with satellite navigation system signals. This could have serious consequences for aviation and maritime transport, posing a threat to the safety of the civilian population.
Lithuania accuses Russia of increasing interferences to GPS signals, claiming that this could lead to serious incidents in various sectors, requiring immediate action to resolve this situation.
