Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s plane escaped being hit by a drone attack while taking off from Moldova on Tuesday. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gar Storey made this claim while talking to state TV on Wednesday. According to Storey, Zelensky’s plane was about to take off from Moldova when the drone came close to it. However, he did not disclose the distance of the drone and the source of the information. Zelensky was traveling to Oslo to attend the funeral of Norway’s King Harald V. Airspace closed after drone alert Zelensky’s plane was parked at Chisinau International Airport. Moldova closed its airspace for some time after receiving the drone warning. This delayed the flight of Zelensky’s plane. Moldovan officials later confirmed the fall of a Russian drone in the country. After this, Zelensky’s plane was given permission to fly. According to AP, the drone fell and was destroyed about 160 km from the airport. Moldova said – the entry of the drone is not a mere coincidence. Moldova’s ambassador to the US, Vladislav Kulminski, told CNN that the possibility of the drone entering Moldova by mistake is low. He said that it is difficult to consider it a mere coincidence that Zelensky’s plane should be parked at the airport and at the same time a jet-propelled drone should reach Moldova. When asked whether drones were sent to target Zelensky’s plane, he said the investigation was ongoing and it was too early to say anything about it. He also pointed out that Zelensky uses Moldova’s airspace during his trips abroad. Moldova’s President said – a serious threat to people’s lives Moldova’s President Maia Sandu described the incident of drones entering the country as a serious threat to people’s lives.
