European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's plane experienced GPS jamming while landing in Bulgaria, with Bulgarian authorities suspecting Russian involvement. The plane landed safely using paper maps. This incident, occurring during von der Leyen's tour of Eastern European countries to garner support for Ukraine, highlights the escalating tensions and threats from Russia. The EU has previously sanctioned Russia for similar GPS jamming incidents, and this event reinforces the EU's commitment to bolstering its defenses and supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression.
