President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy began his visit to the United States of America with a visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, where components for artillery and mortar shells are produced.
Its capacities are fully loaded for the needs of Ukraine, in particular for the production of 155 mm caliber projectiles, which were significantly increased during the year.
The head of state familiarized himself with the production cycle and talked with the company’s management and employees.
During the meeting, the President spoke about the situation on the battlefield and emphasized Ukraine’s needs for uninterrupted and timely delivery of announced defense support packages.
“It is an honor for us to start our visit to the United States of America precisely from Scranton, from this plant, from Pennsylvania. We are very happy to have such partners. Of course, we understand that the US has been helping us since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. And we count on further support. Thank you to President Biden, the US Congress and all the workers of such factories,” Volodymyr Zelenskyi said.
Among the main topics of discussion is the importance of starting joint production of weapons on the territory of Ukraine, as well as the possibility of American investments in the Ukrainian defense industry.
The President also noted that at this and other American factories, they have already increased production several times and will continue to increase their capacities in the future.
“400 people work here. I really wanted to come here and thank you. 400 people saved millions of Ukrainians. From myself and all our people, thank you very much. You helped us resist Putin’s onslaught,” said the Head of State, addressing the factory workers.
