Ursula von der Leyen doubles down on plan to create shield against foreign interference
The European Commission chief has once more talked about her proposal for a so-called "European democracy shield" which would protect Europe from foreign interference following the Pravfond scandal fallout.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, drawing sharp criticism from Brussels. Despite Slovakia’s EU and NATO membership, Fico vowed deeper energy cooperation with Moscow and announced opposition to an EU plan to cut Russian oil and gas supplies. He lashed out at EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, calling EU leaders “frogs in a well.” Putin praised Fico’s independent stance and declared Russia has no objection to Ukraine joining the EU—but NATO membership remains off limits.

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.
