Russian drones strike Zelenskyy-linked targets in Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih; airspace incursions over Moldova

Over the past week, Russian drones have repeatedly targeted assets linked to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, including a warehouse of his company 'Kvartal 95' in Kyiv and a warehouse of the First Lady's charitable foundation, as well as strikes on his hometown of Kryvyi Rih. Russian drones also entered Moldovan airspace during Zelenskyy's visits to Chișinău on September 9 and 14. This marks a notable shift toward targeting the Ukrainian leadership's personal and business interests, potentially signaling an escalation in psychological warfare and decapitation attempts, though the operational impact remains limited.

Zelenskyy Aircraft Targeted Twice; Drones Violate Moldovan Airspace

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claims Russian drones targeted his aircraft on two occasions, with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store partially corroborating a near-miss incident in Moldovan airspace on September 9 en route to Oslo. Russian drones also reportedly entered Moldovan airspace during Zelenskyy's visits to Chișinău on September 9 and 14, and targeted assets linked to Zelenskyy in Kyiv and Kryvyi Rih. While direct targeting of Zelenskyy's aircraft remains largely unverified beyond the Norwegian PM's statement, the repeated airspace violations and strikes on associated targets indicate a potential escalation in efforts to target Ukrainian leadership and exert psychological pressure.
