Zelenskyy's official state aircraft is an Airbus A319-115X C. ADEM ALTAN/AFP via Getty Images NATO member Norway's prime minister said Zelenskyy's plane was "almost hit" by a drone in Moldova. Moldova, which is to Ukraine's southwest, said a Shahed had entered its airspace on that day. The drone later crashed in northwestern Moldova, and there are no details yet of how close it got. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's corporate jet was threatened by a drone as he prepared to fly from Moldova to Oslo, according to Norway's prime minister. "His plane was almost hit by a drone as it took off in Moldova. That's his reality," Jonas Gahr Støre told local broadcaster NRK on Wednesday. Støre did not provide further details on the incident. Nor did he mention the distance between the drone and Zelenskyy's plane.
