Key Findings

• The European Commission (EC) publicly blamed Russia for an incident of GPS jamming targeting the plane of EC President Ursula Von Der Leyen.
• The incident is likely linked to Russia’s aggressive hybrid warfare strategy, which is designed to limit the effectiveness of military aid to Ukraine.
• While normally reserved for states along Russia’s Western periphery, Western Europe is likely to see an escalation in attacks as it steps up support for Ukraine.
• The European Union (EU) remains deeply divided on how to address a variety of issues, and it is in Russia’s interest to worsen these divisions.
