Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's plane was almost struck by a drone when departing from Moldova on Tuesday. "His flight was almost hit by a drone when it was taking off from Moldova. That is the reality he lives in," Store stated, although he did not clarify the proximity of the drone nor the source of his information, according to Al Jazeera and Reuters.
The situation intensified as officials in Moldova reported significant unrest, indicating that drone incursions caused flight disruptions at Chisinau airport on the same day. Moldovan President Maia Sandu condemned these intrusions as a "serious threat to people's lives," coinciding with reports of Russian drones entering Moldovan airspace, as detailed by Reuters and CBS News.
Dignitaries, including Zelenskyy, attended the funeral of King Harald V in Oslo, with discussions held on air defense and military aid while he was in Norway. An unnamed source from the Ukrainian presidency moderated the narrative, suggesting the risks were exaggerated regarding Zelenskyy's personal safety during the incident, as noted by CBS News.
