The plane carrying President Zelensky was almost hit by a drone while flying over Moldova's airspace, during the return journey from Oslo. The information was confirmed by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, who revealed the incident publicly.
President Zelensky had traveled from Kyiv to Moldova and then continued to Oslo, where he attended the funeral of Norway's King Harald V. The return journey to Ukraine was thus marked by this incident that almost endangered the life of the Ukrainian leader.
The Norwegian Prime Minister made this statement during the night, providing details about the near accident. No further information was released about the type of drone involved or about who may be behind the incident.
This episode comes in a context of heightened tensions in the region, with Moldova remaining neutral since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, although it has suffered energy supply disruptions attributed to Russia.
