Zelensky Accuses Russia of Drone Attacks on His Plane
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Russia fired drones at his plane on March 2nd. He also accused Russia of attempting to attack his plane with drones twice in the last two weeks. The incidents have heightened tensions in the ongoing conflict.
Zelensky stated that Russia launched drones at his plane on March 2nd, according to Uzbekistan National News Agency. The attack was reportedly intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses. Separately, Infobae reported that Zelensky accused Russia of attempting to attack his plane with drones twice in the last two weeks, though the exact dates were not specified.
The two reports differ in the specifics of the incidents. One report specifies a single attack on March 2nd, while the other mentions two separate incidents over the past two weeks without exact dates. Both accounts, however, point to Russia using drones as a method of attack against Zelensky's plane.
The accusations come amid ongoing hostilities in Ukraine. While no casualties were reported, the incidents have further escalated tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides continuing to accuse each other of escalating the conflict.
