TREE NEWS update: Norway’s prime minister said on September 9 that a drone nearly struck the plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from Moldova to Oslo. The prime minister did not disclose the source of the information or how close the drone came to the aircraft. Zelensky arrived in Oslo late on September 8 and attended the funeral of Norway’s late King Harald V on September 9. Ukraine has not yet issued an official response.
Norway PM: Drone Nearly Struck Zelensky’s Plane Bound for Oslo
The claim comes from Norway's prime minister without disclosed sourcing, and Ukraine has not responded, so the incident's nature and attribution remain unverified. If confirmed, it would signal that airspace around high-level political travel is no longer a reliable safe corridor, a risk that touches any state hosting or transporting a leader in a conflict-adjacent role. The open question is whether corroboration, an official Ukrainian response, or any attribution emerges — and whether such reports start shaping how European hosts approach the logistics of sensitive visits.
