Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen According to Norwegian reports, a plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was nearly struck by a drone in Moldova. “His flight was nearly struck by a drone as it took off in Moldova. That is the reality in which he lives,” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre told the NRK radio station on Wednesday evening.
Incident occurred on Tuesday
Støre did not provide further details. According to CNN journalist Jim Sciutto, the incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday as Zelenskyy took off for Oslo, where he arrived that evening. The Ukrainian president attended the funeral of King Harald V on Wednesday.
No information has yet been provided regarding the origin of the drone. Kyiv has also not commented on the incident. The only information available so far was that arrivals and departures at Chișinău Airport were temporarily suspended on Tuesday after two Russian drones entered Moldovan airspace.
One drone crashed in a field and sparked a fire, while the second continued flying into Romanian airspace. It is not known whether the Norwegian prime minister was referring to these incidents.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu described the intrusion as a “serious threat to human life” and also condemned an attack on a border crossing with Ukraine in which two people were killed. A source in the Ukrainian Presidential Office provided a more nuanced account of the situation, according to CBS News, explaining: “There was an alert in Moldova when a Russian (drone) entered Moldovan and Romanian airspace.” The source described the claim that Zelenskyy had been in immediate danger as “exaggerated.”
In Oslo, Zelenskyy had discussed, among other things, Norwegian military aid for Ukraine—which is under attack by Russia—with Støre, Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg, and Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide. According to Støre, Zelenskyy traveled on to Canada after the funeral.
