Støre says Zelenskyy's plane was nearly hit by drone after Moldova takeoff

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a dramatic start to his trip to Oslo and King Harald's funeral. His plane was nearly hit by a drone as it took off from Moldova. "That is the reality he faces," Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre tells NRK.

Zelensky arrived in Oslo from Moldova on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday morning, Støre received Zelensky in his office.

I asked how the night had been, and he said it hadn't been a good night, because he had been on the phone receiving information about where the missiles had hit, Støre tells NRK.

“It is a very dramatic situation” in Ukraine, adds Støre.

It makes a deep impression.

Zelensky also had a meeting with Støre, Minister of Finance Jens Stoltenberg and Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide immediately after arriving on Tuesday.
