SCRANTON, PA – This weekend, during a tour of the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Pennsylvania, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude for the artillery shells and other munitions being produced for Ukraine’s defense.

The plant, which manufactures components for 155mm artillery and mortar shells, is playing a key role in supplying Ukraine with vital resources for its ongoing war against Russian aggression.

Zelenskyy praised the dedication of the factory workers, stating that their hard work is helping Ukraine “stand strong” in its fight for freedom. In a message shared on social media, he thanked the people of Scranton and Americans across the country who are contributing billions of dollars to Ukraine’s defense efforts, calling the munitions they produce the ammunition being used on the battlefield overseas.

This visit underscores the deepening military collaboration between the U.S. and Ukraine, as American taxpayer funding continues to support the production of critical weaponry aimed at reinforcing Ukraine’s fight for democracy and sovereignty.
