Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that the situation in the Baltic region near the Russian border has become “too precarious to ignore,” according to Financial Times (FT)
The announcement followed multiple GPS signal disruptions affecting commercial flights reported by airlines like Ryanair, Wizz Air, British Airways, and EasyJet.
The foreign ministers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have accused Russia of suppressing GPS signals, creating obstacles for aviation in the Baltic Sea area. “We perceive what is happening with GPS as part of Russia’s hostile activities, and we will undoubtedly discuss this with our allies,” Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said, referring to the incidents as “hybrid attacks.”
The Financial Times cites a source claiming Russia is jamming GPS signals to prevent drone attacks on Kaliningrad. Disruptions to GPS have increased since Russia’s war in Ukraine began, with airlines reporting numerous incidents near the Baltic Sea, particularly over Kaliningrad, as well as over the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, and the eastern Mediterranean.
