Sweden says its satellites have been affected by "harmful interference" from Russia ever since the Nordic nation joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) last March.

The Post and Telecommunications Authority (PTS) only confronted Russia about the interference on March 21, according to Bloomberg, exactly two weeks after Sweden joined the North Atlantic Alliance. On June 4, the Swedes are said to have escalated their complaints about the interference of the International Telecommunication Union in Switzerland.
It seems that just joining NATO has earned Sweden the wrath of Russia – the jamming efforts focused on three Sirius satellites serving Scandinavia and parts of Eastern Europe. These have nothing to do with SiriusXM in the US, but provide digital TV services across part of Europe.
A representative of the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, claimed that he had no idea what the Swedes were up to.
