MOSCOW, May 28 – Moscow’s foreign ministry challenged European nations on Thursday to provide evidence supporting accusations that Russia is disrupting GPS signals across the continent.<\/p>

An official from Lithuania stated Tuesday that Russia has the capability to interfere with GPS signals as far as 450 kilometers (280 miles) into European territory from its Kaliningrad territory, thanks to significantly enhanced technological capacity.<\/p>

European countries have repeatedly blamed Russia for electronic disruption activities following the 2022 Ukraine invasion, though President Vladimir Putin’s administration has consistently rejected these claims, instead pointing to Western disinformation campaigns.<\/p>

“Let them first present at least some evidence,” foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told reporters when asked about the allegations.<\/p>

“Then something can be discussed, something can be talked about. So far, these are just words, and you can’t take their word for it.”<\/p>

In the previous year, a Spanish military aircraft carrying Defence Minister Margarita Robles encountered GPS interference while flying near Kaliningrad, and an aircraft transporting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen experienced signal jamming during a flight to Bulgaria.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
