- Zelenskyy told CBS News that Russia tried to attack his plane with drones on two separate occasions in recent weeks.
- The reported targeting occurred during Zelenskyy's recent travels across Europe, according to UNITED24 Media's write-up of the CBS interview.
Why it matters: A head of state's aircraft being targeted — twice, on what appear to be separate occasions — represents a deliberate escalation rather than stray fire, with the disclosure surfacing while Zelenskyy was actively conducting diplomacy in Europe.
