The plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was nearly hit by a drone during its takeoff, in an incident that marked the turbulent start of the trip to Norway. The incident occurred when the aircraft was already in the takeoff phase.
The episode reportedly caused concern among the presidential delegation, although the specific details about the circumstances of the near-impact were not fully specified in the article. The situation required heightened attention from the security authorities present.
The trip to Norway was part of President Zelensky's European tour, at a time when the war in Ukraine continues to drag on. The visit aimed to strengthen international support for the country.
Norway is a NATO ally and has been providing military and humanitarian support to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion. The Nordic country has been one of the most consistent donors of aid to the Ukrainian nation.
