Zelenskyy's plane nearly hit by drone while taking off from Moldova
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's plane narrowly escaped a drone collision as it took off from Moldova for Oslo, where he was to attend King Harald V's funeral. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store revealed the incident during an interview with NRK, emphasizing the security concerns surrounding Zelenskyy's travel. Zelenskyy managed to reach Oslo the previous evening, where he met Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
The drone threat led to a delay in his flight schedule. Zelenskyy personally shared the incident with Norwegian finance minister Jens Stoltenberg upon arrival in the Norwegian capital. Despite the security risks, Stoltenberg highlighted the importance of Zelenskyy's presence at the funeral. Following the attendance, Zelenskyy paid tribute to King Harald V on social media, expressing gratitude for Norway's continued support during the ongoing conflict.
