Norway PM Claims Zelenskyy's Plane Nearly Hit By Russian Drone

Norway PM Claims Zelenskyy's Plane Nearly Hit By Russian Drone

Was this a real threat or is the media playing dirty by suggesting that it was?

The Spin


While an investigation is ongoing and it is too early to say whether the Russian drone was targeting Zelenskyy, it is safe to say that the fact a jet propelled drone entered Moldovan airspace was not an accident. This is likely not the first time something like this has happened.

Zelenskyy was never in danger as his flight took off half an hour after the drone came down. As usual, the media is playing dirty by giving the opposite impression.


Metaculus Prediction

There's a 10% chance that Zelenskyy will be re-elected as President of Ukraine before 2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
