A UN body condemned a series of incidents of what it said was Russian interference in the satellite systems of European countries and asked it to stop, according to a document published on July 1. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) reviewed a series of complaints from France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Ukraine about satellite interference in recent months. The countries said Russia had jammed GPS signals, endangered air traffic control and interrupted children's TV channels to show violent images of the Ukraine war. Moscow, which denies breaking ITU rules, had also complained about alleged satellite interference by NATO countries.
