The Ukrainian leader arrived in the United States on the evening of September 22, Ukrainian time. Volodymyr Zelensky began his visit with a visit to a plant in Scranton , which is in the state of Pennsylvania. I began my visit to the United States with gratitude to all the plant workers and agreements on expanding cooperation between Pennsylvania and our Zaporizhia, Zelensky said. The President explained that the plant in Scranton produces 155-millimeter artillery shells for the Ukrainian military, who protect not only our state, not only Ukraine. The plant will increase production, the President assured. Volodymyr Zelensky summed up that it is at such enterprises that one feels that the democratic world can really win.

“Thanks to people like these in Ukraine, in the United States, in all partner countries, who work to ensure that life is protected,” the president added.
By the way, the AP publication previously wrote that the Pennsylvania plant is one of the few that produces 155-millimeter artillery shells, which are widely used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in howitzer systems for strikes at a distance of up to 32 kilometers. Ukraine has already received more than 3 million such shells from the United States.
