It seems like the ability to fly in a straight line between two places on earth is something we're losing (or already lost). Opsgroup has a good map of places that you shouldn't fly over: https://safeairspace.net
The future of literal human connectivity will be a lot of squiggly lines and increasing expensive plane tickets, unfortunately.
It's a swinging pendulum. The very distant past had straight lines, then they got squiggly, then they straightened, and now they're trending squiggly again.
Instead of whining we should start jamming Glonass in retaliation. Glonass jammers with known locations could automatically fire up when their GPS position is off by 10%.
Sure. And Russia controls the time signals, so no need to jam it, just send phony time signals. Mine can do GPS + Glonass or GPS + Galileo. Just set it to Galileo or BeiDou.

What a ridiculous comment!
All GNSS use similar frequencies for civilian signals. 1575 MHz for Galileo, 1600 MHz for Glonass etc. Since jammers primarily work by sweeping a strong signal across the relevant band (more effective than spot frequency jamming), practically all crude attempts to jam one constellation can just as well jam the lot. (You need to be rather more precise just to jam one).
e.g. A cheap COTS "GPS" jammer will typically work on all four GNSS constelations.
