Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Störe revealed that a drone nearly hit the aircraft carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his departure from Moldova en route to Norway. The incident occurred on Tuesday as Zelenskyy travelled to Norway for the funeral of the late King Harald V. Störe did not provide further details regarding the near miss. However, a source within Zelenskyy’s office downplayed the claim to AFP, stating it was a routine aviation alert and that the president was never in danger. The Ukrainian source clarified the event as a general air raid alarm and emphasized Zelenskyy’s safety throughout the flight. This discrepancy has led to differing accounts of the incident’s severity during the journey from Moldova to Norway.
