Summary
Jonas Gahr Store said a drone nearly struck Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plane during takeoff from Moldova before the Ukrainian president arrived in Oslo on Tuesday evening.
Store gave no source or distance for the near miss, calling it “the reality he lives in” as Zelenskyy travels while Russia’s war against Ukraine continues.
In Oslo, Zelenskyy met Store and defense industry executives to advance FREYJA, a European anti-ballistic system, focusing on how governments and companies would split responsibilities and deliver first results.
At least 8 people were killed in Russian attacks on Wednesday, Ukrainian regional officials said, including strikes near the Ukraine-Moldova border and in the southeast.
