Context
NATO's easternmost member states are facing a sharp increase in radio and satellite interference. Baltic authorities claim that interference has significantly increased in recent months, affecting air and sea communications. Last month, Lithuania accused Russia of orchestrating a surge in GPS jamming, leading to a 22-fold increase in such incidents compared to the previous year.
