A source in the Ukrainian presidency described the claim that Zelenskyy was at risk as "exaggerated"

Ukraine and Moldova on Wednesday played down claims from Norway’s prime minister that a plane carrying President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was almost hit by a drone as it flew to Oslo.

Jonas Gahr Store told Norwegian public broadcaster NRK that Zelenskyy’s plane was “almost hit by a drone when it was taking off from Moldova”.

But a source in the Ukrainian presidency described the claim that Zelenskyy was at risk as “exaggerated”.

“It was an alert in Moldova when a Russian (drone) entered Moldovan and Romanian airspace,” the source told AFP.
