EU Chief Kill Bid: Russia Denies Trying To Kill Ursula von der Leyen In GPS Jamming Attack

Russia has firmly denied allegations of jamming GPS signals on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s flight to Bulgaria. The incident occurred just days after von der Leyen called Putin a “predator,” sparking suspicions of deliberate interference. Her plane suffered a GPS blackout near Plovdiv Airport, forcing pilots to land using paper maps. Bulgarian authorities linked the case to rising GPS jamming across Europe, widely blamed on Russia. The scare adds new strain as von der Leyen pushes for a stronger European army to counter Moscow. #Russia #EU #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #Putin #GPSSpoofing #AirSafety #Europe #BreakingNews #FlightScare #Bulgaria #NATOTensions #AviationNews #Kremlin #DmitryPeskov #GPSJamming #VonDerLeyen #EuropeanUnion #PutinPredator #AirSecurity #SCO2025 #Geopolitics #Moscow #UkraineWar #EUvsRussia #DefenseSpending #RussiaTensions #EuropeanArmy #ChinaSummit #IndiaRussia #WestVsRussia #PlaneCrisis Also Read Russia, China Oppose 'Discriminatory Sanctions' Against BRICS Countries: Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-china-oppose-discriminatory-sanctions-against-brics-countries-putin-7846217.html?ref=DMDesc Jaishankar Meets Putin in Moscow Amid Global Power Shifts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/external-affairs-minister-s-jaishankar-holds-meeting-with-russian-president-putin-in-moscow-011-7836759.html?ref=DMDesc Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~

NATO-Russia Full Blown Conflict: Russia Issues CHILLING WARNING To Bulgaria Over Black Sea Tensions [Video]

NATO-Russia Full Blown Conflict: Russia Issues CHILLING WARNING To Bulgaria Over Black Sea Tensions

Russia has issued a sharp warning to Bulgaria after the Bulgarian Parliament labeled Moscow a “state sponsor of terrorism” and seized Russian property. The Kremlin condemned the move as a product of EU-driven Russophobia, calling it a provocation that “won’t go unanswered.” With NATO backing Bulgaria and tensions rising in the Black Sea, fears of escalation grow. Though a full-blown conflict is unlikely, hybrid threats remain. Russia's fleet still holds Kalibr missile power, while Bulgaria, backed by NATO, braces for any threat near its modernizing navy. #Russia #Bulgaria #BlackSeaTensions #Putin #NATO #Geopolitics #WarThreat #KalibrMissiles #BulgariaNavy #HybridWarfare #Article5 #EU #RussiaUkraineWar #PutinWarning #Bosphorus #NavalConflict #Moscow #RussianFleet #MilitaryTensions #DefenseNews #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #NATONews #EasternEurope #BalticCrisis #BlackSeaCrisis #NATOvsRussia #UkraineWar #WarZone #SecurityAlert #MilitaryEscalation Also Read Hawaii Tsunami Warning: Next Waves Could Reach Up to 10 Feet, Say Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hawaii-tsunami-warning-next-waves-could-reach-up-to-10-feet-say-officials-011-7815551.html?ref=DMDesc India Tsunami Warning?
