Plane Carrying Zelensky Lands in Kyiv at Night, He Heads Straight to Presidential Office
The President of Ukraine cut short a working visit to Oman.
The Schemes investigative project reported that the plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky landed in Kyiv at 2:37 a.m. He returned from Oman almost a day after the crash of a UIA plane in Iran that killed 176 people, including 11 Ukrainians.
The cutting short of Zelensky's working visit to Oman and his urgent return to Ukraine on January 8 was announced by the President's press secretary Yulia Mendel.
“Zelensky arrived at Kyiv (Zhuliany) airport on a charter flight at 2:37 a.m. on January 9. A Schemes film crew recorded how, after the landing, a Mercedes-Benz Vito car drove up to the plane and headed to Bankova Street, entering the grounds of the Presidential Office 15 minutes later. Lights were turned on in the building on the floor where the president's office is located. Journalists noticed a gathering of State Protection Service officers around the Presidential Office.”
At around 4:00 a.m., Zelensky held a working meeting at the Presidential Office with Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk, NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov and representatives of other agencies over the crash of the UIA plane in Tehran.
On January 5 it became known that Zelensky had secretly gone on holiday to Oman with his family. However, it later emerged that the president was there on official business too. In Oman he met with the foreign minister.
