Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will visit a Pennsylvania ammunition factory to thank workers

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday will visit the Pennsylvania ammunition factory that is producing one of the most critically needed munitions for his country’s fight to fend off Russian ground forces.

He is expected to go to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant to kick off a busy week in the United States shoring up support for Ukraine in the war, according to two U.S. officials and a third familiar with Zelenskyy’s schedule who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details that were not yet public. He also will address the U.N. General Assembly annual gathering in New York and travel to Washington for talks on Thursday with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Scranton plant is one of the few facilities in the country to manufacture 155 mm artillery shells. They are used in howitzer systems, which are towed large guns with long barrels that can fire at various angles. Howitzers can strike targets up to 15 miles to 20 miles (24 kilometers to 32 kilometers) away and are highly valued by ground forces to take out enemy targets from a protected distance.

We are spending 5% of our military budget to send weapons to the enemy(Ukraine) of our enemy(Russia), which has led to the destruction of half the Russian military, without the injury or loss of one US soldier. This prevents Russia from threatening our European allies, while sending a warning to China on Taiwan.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, Jan Lipavský,

"The Russian problem is that it does not exactly know where it begins and where it ends," - the Czech top diplomat quoted the words of the late president of the Czech Republic, Václav Havel, and added: "Russian imperial ambitions have no limits unless we set them."

According to Lipavský, it is naive to think that if Russia won in Ukraine, its tanks would stop at its western borders. Ukraine has been bravely resisting Russian aggression on behalf of Europe, therefore Europe and the democratic world must support Kyiv politically and militarily, said Czech Foreign Minister.

"Russia's victory will mean a fundamentally insecure and volatile Europe. And there is no real prosperity without security. Resisting the Russian imperialism is a call of the day," said Lipavský, criticizing calls for appeasement towards the aggressor.

So you don’t think that Zelensky visiting the Scranton Ammunition Factory is news?

I can’t believe he is leaving his post to tour an ammo factory. I hope there is enough time for him to change out of his battle fatigues. I’m sure it will be a quick tour as he needs to get back quickly to the front lines, fighting for his beleaguered country.

He’s not the President of anything anymore. He’s an unelected Dictator now.

After this, he can visit the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in DC to watch them printing the 100 dollar bills that he will also be getting.

So who is acting like nazis in Ukraine? Who does the Jewish community in Ukraine support, invading Russians or the Ukrainian government?

Only one side in Ukraine keeps committing atrocities-Russians

Russians robbed, raped, tortured and executed civilians in Ukraine.

Surrendering Ukrainian soldiers are tortured, executed, have ears and heads cut off and have even been castrated.
