Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in New York on September 22nd, 2025, to discuss frozen Russian assets and Ukraine's economic resilience, also addressing Russia's September 22nd airspace violations over Copenhagen. During the meeting, Zelenskyy stated that "If there is no resolute response from the allies – both states and institutions – to aggressive provocations, Russia will continue them," referencing the drone activity over Copenhagen. He expressed gratitude to Georgieva and the IMF for their support of Ukraine's economy. The discussion also covered potential cooperation avenues, including a new program to bolster Ukraine's resilience. This development follows reports of airspace disruptions at Copenhagen Airport (CPH) on September 22nd, 2025, due to multiple drone sightings. While the airport has since reopened, the incidents led to flight cancellations and diversions. Norwegian state media shared footage allegedly showing a drone flying very low over Copenhagen Airport on the night of September 22nd. Police in Oslo also seized a drone in connection with observations near Oslo Airport, though a pilot has not been located. Previous reports indicated that Copenhagen Airport's closure was extended until at least 07:00 UTC on September 23rd, 2025, after initially closing around 8:26 PM local time on September 22nd. Approximately 50 flights were canceled and 50 diverted during the initial hours of the disruption. Separately, two foreign nationals were arrested in Oslo on Monday night for illegally operating a drone near Akershus Fortress, a restricted military area.
