Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia press global organisations to take action against Moscow for threatening aviation and maritime safety
Nato’s easternmost member states are grappling with a sharp rise in radio and satellite interference, with Baltic governments accusing Russia of positioning equipment for electronic warfare close to their borders.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Baltic Sea region has registered widespread signal jamming, including of the Global Positioning System or GPS, which has affected air and maritime communications.

They have also reported a rapid increase in intentional transmission of faulty coordinates, a practice known as spoofing.
