Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited a Pennsylvania arms plant producing munitions critical for his country's war effort ahead of meetings this week with President Joe Biden and other world leaders. The Scranton plant is one of the few facilities in the United States that manufactures 155-mm artillery shells. Ukraine has consumed millions of rounds of the shells since the war began in February 2022. The Ukrainian president is hoping to receive permission to fire U.S. long-range missiles deep into Russia to strike critical assets like airfields and arms depots critical for Moscow's war effort. Zelenskiy will also outline his plan for victory on the battlefield.
