The General Staff named the cause of the large-scale time failure.

The use of electronic warfare equipment to counter Russia's air attacks led to a disruption in the precise Time system used by mobile phones in automatic time update mode. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.It is noted that to increase the efficiency of impacting the enemy, GPS satellite navigation coordinate spoofing is used.Electronic warfare specialists note that during air raid alerts, the accuracy of satellite navigation systems may be disrupted.

A side effect of this influence is a disruption in the precise time system used by mobile phones in automatic time update mode. Considering this, it is advisable to disable the automatic time update mode on the phone and consider that during air raid alerts, the accuracy of satellite navigation systems may be disrupted

Recall, on the night of November 5, a massive electronic clock failure occurred in Ukraine. Many social media users also noticed changed geolocation on their devices: instead of familiar Ukrainian city names, Russian and Belarusian localities appeared, and in some cases even Antarctica. 'Hlavcom' talks about the failure that made Ukrainians wake up an hour earlier.Recall that on July 16, the parliament passed bill №4201 on canceling the time change from winter to summer in Ukraine.As reported by a BBC source, President Volodymyr Zelensky has not yet signed and does not plan to sign the law canceling the time change in Ukraine from winter to summer. However, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, is convinced that the leader of Ukraine will cancel the transition to summer time.Historian Volodymyr Viatrovych criticized the law canceling summer time. He noted that such a decision means that the sun will rise almost at three in the morning in summer, and in October darkness will fall even during the working day. This will significantly increase energy costs, which we already have a disaster with, and for which summer time was invented to save.As reported, Deputy Minister of Energy Mykola Kolisnyk assured: the cancellation of the transition to summer time will not affect the light situation in Ukraine because electricity consumption will not increase.
