Massive smartphone malfunction: Ukrainians "waking up" in Moscow and Kursk.

Ukrainian mobile device users are massively complaining about smartphone malfunctions. The main issues concern incorrect Time display and geolocation. On some devices, the time is automatically set one hour ahead, and the geolocation shows Russian cities.

"Woke up in the morning, looked at one phone – 7 AM. Looked at the second – 8:00. Froze. Googled – 7 AM. Went to work calmly with an internal question, why the time on Vodafone is set to Russia", – says Natalia Emchenko.

User Inna Khmara confirmed the problem: "It's a malfunction for everyone on MTS. It even shows Kursk region as the location".

Anatoliy Amelin took the situation with humor: "I love air defense. You wake up by the alarm, get ready. And then you realize that electronic warfare has thrown you far to the north and you have one free hour".

Famous Ukrainian restaurateur Yevhen Klopotenko also shared his experience: "I was already at the meeting at 7:00, which was supposed to start at 8:00. The trouble is, I was the only one there".

Member of Parliament Dmytro Natalukha reported a similar situation: "I have three phones at home, and all of them automatically switched to the 'Moscow' time zone overnight. Someone's geolocation shows Minsk, someone's – Kursk, and someone's also Moscow. Regardless of the location, both inside Ukraine and abroad".

TV presenter Yanina Sokolova shared an even more unusual case – her smartphone showed a "forgotten device in Antarctica".

Experts explain such malfunctions with the operation of Russian electronic warfare systems. Users are advised to turn off automatic time determination on devices and check with mechanical clocks or the precise time service 121.

"This happened last Tuesday and Friday. Now I just unchecked the 'determine time automatically' option", – says one of the users.

Interestingly, similar problems are observed in other countries, particularly in Israel. It is noted that this is related to Russian electronic warfare systems that affect smartphone operation.
