The plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "almost got hit" by a drone when it was preparing to take off from Moldova, revealed Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. The incident occurred during takeoff from Moldova, a neighboring country of Ukraine.
Zelensky was traveling to Norway, where he later attended the funeral of King Harald V, who died at 87. The royal funeral took place in Oslo, the Norwegian capital.
Prime Minister Støre made this revelation during an interview in which he commented on the Ukrainian president's visit to Norway. The information about the near-drone attack comes as additional context about the security conditions surrounding Zelensky's travels during the war in Ukraine.
This incident highlights the risks associated with the Ukrainian president's international travels, in a context where the threat of drone attacks remains present in various regions near the conflict zone.
