Yes, one of our tabloids reports today jamming games affecting EFHK-EFJO (very close to our friendly neighbour in the east).

The article's headline said that the captain's "solution" was a victory or honour flight over Karelia

Translation of the first part:
Finnair's Tuesday morning flight from Helsinki to Joensuu had to make an extra turn due to GPS jamming in Russia. The flight in question departed at 9.05 am.
Sirri Rimppi, a reporter for Iltalehti, reports that the aircraft made an extra circuit over Joensuu before landing.
- The captain announced to the passengers that "we were doing a lap of honour over Karelia," Rimppi says.
- According to the captain, Russia, our neighbour to the east, caused a disturbance and for a moment it looked as if we would not be able to land in Joensuu. Then he said that the disturbance had cleared during the turn. The aircraft landed successfully at Joensuu airport.


So I guess the games will keep on going, just like a tired toddler making a noise for attention and being a brat, Vlad's workers are continuing their games.
