Obstacles from Russia and temporarily annexed Crimea affected three different Swedish satellite networks.
Russia began to create obstacles to the operation of Swedish satellite networks. This happened after the country became a member of NATO. This was discussed in a letter from the Swedish Telecommunications Authority, writes Bloomberg.
The agency called on the International Telecommunication Union to address Russia’s harmful actions at a June 24 meeting.
As stated in the letter, on March 21, Russia tried to disrupt the work of Swedish satellite networks. This happened two weeks after the country officially joined NATO.
Obstacles from Russia and the temporary annexation of Crimea have affected three different Sirius satellite networks serving Scandinavian and Eastern European countries.
“These disruptions are of course serious and can be seen as part of Russia’s wider hybrid actions aimed at Sweden and other countries,” said Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
According to him, Sweden is working with other countries to respond to such Russian actions.
Meanwhile, Kremlin Speaker Dmitry Peskov said he knew nothing about these incidents.
Let’s recall that at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, aircraft flying in the Baltic Sea region began to encounter disruptions in the operation of navigation systems.
Thousands of airline flights to the Baltics from the UK have been affected by Russian satellite navigation obstruction.
