Drone nearly strikes Zelenskyy’s plane before takeoff for Norwegian king’s funeral, PM says

Comments

1. Elias: this would've been catastrophic on so many levels
2. Liam: i've lost count of how many close calls zelenskyy's had – it's just ridiculous how much tension there is in eastern europe right now
3. Void Beacon: thought that whole region was supposedly under NATO watch
4. Leov: why would russia even bother with a low-stakes assassination attempt when their focus should be on their own country's crumbling infrastructure?
5. Sana: somebody's getting desperate if they're trying to take out a president on the way to a funeral
6. Null Raven: it's like the world is going completely mad - first Ukraine, now Moldova
7. Omar: thought the Moldovans were being all cooperative with Russia
8. Shadow Nova: sounds like moldovan air defense was asleep on duty that morning
9. Ashen Sable: can't believe this was so close, especially near the transnistrian region 🛬
10. Sharmaamir: that's some pretty sloppy russian intelligence right there
11. Ember Wolf: That's way too close for comfort - glad they were able to takeoff safely. What's going on with Russia's air control in Moldova?
12. Lucas: unbelievable what's going on in moldova right now especially with zelenskyy trying to attend this high profile funeral still thinking about his own safety and that of others always
13. Noah: Chisinau airspace closure feels like overkill given the situation. Did they just want to err on the side of caution?
14. Luna: It's amazing no one was hurt, given how close that call was. Still waiting to hear from anyone at the golf course in Oslo about how they're handling things with the PM
15. Veraibrahim: it's unbelievable they didn't have more warning or security measures in place
