The EU Commission president claimed that Russia had interfered with her airplanes navigation systems

There is no evidence of Russia interfering with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's airplane during her recent flight to Bulgaria, the country's authorities have said.

On Sunday, upon landing in Plovdiv, von der Leyen's pilots allegedly reported issues with their navigation systems. Brussels later told the Financial Times that her flight was "forced to circle for an hour" and claimed that Moscow had "blatantly interfered" with the aircraft, supposedly trying to jam its GPS signal.
