OREANDA-NEWS  Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia accused Russia of suppressing GPS signals, which interferes with aircraft navigation. This is reported by the Financial Times (FT) with reference to the foreign ministers of the Baltic countries.

Representatives of European countries said that due to signal suppression, two Finnish aircraft were forced to return to the departure airport from the middle of the route. According to Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, tens of thousands of civilian flights have been affected by signal quality violations in recent months.

"We consider what is happening with GPS as part of Russia's hostile activities and will definitely discuss this with our allies. Such actions constitute a hybrid attack and pose a threat to our security," explained Margus Tsakhkna, Estonia's chief diplomat.
