How will the shutdown of ground stations in Russia from June 1 affect the operation of the GPS receiver?

Due to the fact that "Russia is suspending the operation of American GPS stations on its territory from June 1" ( source ), please explain how this will affect the domestic use of GPS receivers, such as navigating in the forest, using a phone for navigation (using Yandex Maps or 2GIS) in the city.

Turning off ground stations will not affect household GPS receivers in any way - receivers are guided by satellites that no one plans to ban. Household GPS receivers cannot receive signals from ground-based correction stations. It is possible that the accuracy of pointing ballistic missiles at targets near disabled ground stations will drop, but the US Department of Defense does not publish detailed guidance algorithms =)

She's just threatening to stop. No need to panic. GLONASS, cell towers and wifi positioning will remain

Surveyors are upset. At the household level, the shutdown will not affect absolutely in any way.
