Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova rejected accusations that Moscow was responsible for sabotaging European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's plane, which lost its navigation equipment before landing in Bulgaria three days ago. According to her, "Claims that Russia was behind the incident are false and paranoid." Von der Leyen's office stated on Monday: "We can confirm there was a GPS disruption. We received information from Bulgarian authorities that they suspect blatant interference from Russia."
