Both times — in Moldova.
In recent weeks Russia tried twice to attack President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plane. He said this in an interview with CBS News.
Both incidents occurred in Moldova, which the president used for transit during his trips. According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the attempted attacks happened during his travel in both directions.
“In Moldova, my presidential plane was there, and that’s why they attacked Moldova. When we returned home, again via Chișinău, they did the same,” he said.
Earlier, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said Zelenskyy’s plane was nearly hit by a drone in Moldovan airspace when he was flying to Oslo 9 September. Zelenskyy said one or two more drones entered Moldovan airspace when he returned a few days later.
He believes that Russia is trying to intimidate him and other leaders in this way. Commenting on the drone strike on a railway near the Polish border, where the former CIA chief and foreign diplomats were present at the time, the president said he considers it deliberate.
“Maybe they didn’t know that Americans were there, or maybe, on the contrary, they did know, because I don’t trust them. I think they knew. That’s why Europeans, Americans, large delegations in that train were attacked,” the head of state believes.
