The Moldovan ambassador revealed new, unexpected details.
A Russian drone that violated Moldova's airspace on September 8 may have have been flying deliberately toward the plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
This theory was put forward by Moldova’s ambassador to the U.S., Vladislav Kulminsky, according to CNN.
According to the diplomat, the Moldovan government does not consider the incident to be accidental.
He also emphasized that it is extremely difficult to believe that a Russian jet drone flew over the country’s territory by chance at the exact moment when the Ukrainian president’s plane was at the airport.
“Most likely, this was no accident, since we do not believe that a jet drone simply flew into Moldovan airspace for reconnaissance purposes at the exact moment when the Ukrainian president’s plane was on the ground at the airport,” Kulminsky said.
At the same time, the ambassador emphasized that it is too early to draw definitive conclusions, as the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
The incident involving Zelenskyy’s plane and a Russian drone in Moldova
The Moldovan government confirmed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s departure from their country to Norway on September 8 was delayed due to a Russian drone in the country’s airspace.
Officials in Chisinau explained that Moldova’s airspace had to be temporarily closed during that period due to the appearance of the drone. As a result, Zelenskyy’s flight to Oslo was postponed.
Permission to depart was granted after it became known that the Russian drone had crashed and exploded near the village of Starye Mikhaileny in the Ryshkan district. The crash site was located approximately 160 km from Chisinau International Airport.
In total, three departing flights and four arriving flights were delayed at the airport due to the air alert.
Initial reports of incident involving Zelenskyy’s plane en route to Norway was first reported by the country’s prime minister Jonas Gar Stere.
