A suspected GPS sabotage forced European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's plane to divert from its course and in Russia, the incident quickly made her the focus of mockery and smear campaigns. The politician had flown to Bulgaria on August 31. The GPS disruption of the aircraft resulted in an unscheduled landing in the city of Plovdiv.

If any [Western] troops appear there, especially now during military operations, we proceed from the fact that these will be legitimate targets for their destruction.

Because if these agreements are reached, let no one doubt that Russia will implement them in full.
