That is the reality he is facing,\u201d PM told NRK.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The incident has not yet been confirmed by Ukrainian authorities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Zelenskyy safely arrived in Oslo on Tuesday evening after departing Moldova to attend the royal funeral service alongside world leaders and international dignitaries. <!-- -->He had earlier met Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Providing further details, State Secretary Bhanuja Rasiah at the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office told NRK that the airspace threat affected the Ukrainian president&#8217;s flight schedule.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>&#8220;There was a drone threat in the airspace over Moldova yesterday, which delayed Zelenskyy&#8217;s flight on its way to Oslo. These are threats he lives with every day. It is uncertain how close the drones were to his plane.&#8221; NRK cited him as saying.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Norwegian finance minister Jens Stoltenberg also confirmed that Zelenskyy personally recounted the incident shortly after arriving in the Norwegian capital.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>&#8220;He told us about it last night when we had a meeting with him. I don&#8217;t dare go into the details about it, but he was delayed, and there were some threats against the plane. But I don&#8217;t know enough about the details to explain anything more,&#8221; Stoltenberg said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>&#8220;There were some problems getting out, but it&#8217;s never easy to get out of Ukraine. But the most important thing was that he took the time, the effort it took for him to come to the funeral,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Despite the security risks during the journey, Stoltenberg said Zelenskyy&#8217;s presence at the funeral was significant. He noted that it was impressive to see the Ukrainian president walking alongside other world leaders during King Harald&#8217;s funeral on Wednesday, NRK reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Following his attendance at the funeral, Zelenskyy paid tribute to the late monarch in a post on X.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>&#8220;We paid our respects to King Harald V. Ukraine will always be grateful to Norway for all its assistance. This support comes not only from the government, but also from the Royal Family and all the people of Norway. I recall with gratitude our warm meeting with His Majesty and the special attention he paid to Ukraine. He was a monarch who, for over 35 years, embodied Norway \u2013 its openness, dignity, and respect for people.<!-- --> Over that time, our bond with Norway has grown especially strong.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Zelenskyy also expressed gratitude for Norway&#8217;s continued support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>&#8220;We are grateful that Norway has stood with Ukraine all these years. Thank you for the decisions that are helping us protect people and stand firm today.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>Meanwhile, Zelenskyy said Ukrainian defence forces had carried out successful long-range strikes against a major Russian naval base, as Russian drone and missile attacks killed and wounded civilians across several Ukrainian cities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>In another post on X, Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces had struck key targets deep inside Russian territory, including the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk in the Krasnodar region.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"44\"\/>The strikes against Russian infrastructure came as emergency crews were deployed across Ukraine following another wave of deadly Russian drone attacks targeting civilian infrastructure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/>Zelenskyy said Russian strikes in Sumy, Kyiv and Mykolaiv had killed several people and left others seriously injured.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"49\"\/>Calling on international partners to increase their support to help end the escalation, he wrote, \u201cRight now, it is important for all partners to focus as much as possible and work on the relevant steps toward de-escalation and an end to the killing,\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"52\"\/>Zelenskyy said he had discussed the situation with representatives of US President Donald Trump&#8217;s team as well as European leaders.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>His remarks came after talks in Kyiv with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump&#8217;s son-in-law Jared Kushner.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"57\"\/>Zelenskyy said three rounds of discussions with the US delegation had taken place and described them as substantive, expressing hope that the talks would help revive negotiations and lead to a lasting peace agreement.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"59\"\/>Earlier, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia welcomed US President Donald Trump&#8217;s efforts to bring peace to the region.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"61\"\/>With Russia continuing its strikes and diplomatic efforts yet to yield a breakthrough, a lasting peace agreement remains elusive.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
