Did Russia try to crash the EC President’s plane?

The European Commission accuses Moscow of targeting the plane on which its President Ursula von der Leyen was traveling.

The aircraft’s GPS navigation system was jammed as it attempted to land in Bulgaria over the weekend.

According to CNN, the Commission spokeswoman said she had received “information from the Bulgarian authorities” that the interference had been caused by Russia.

The jamming forced the pilots to fall back on a paper map to guide the plane to its landing, a situation that could have had serious consequences.

Moscow has rejected these accusations, which come a few days after its massive strikes on Kiev severely damaged both the European Union delegation building and the premises of the British Council.

For many, it was a deliberate provocation strategy on Russia’s part. However, Russia denies all allegations.
