Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Joe Biden to allow Ukraine to carry out long-range strikes inside Russia with US-supplied weapons, and to earn “a place in history” by “strengthening Ukraine” before he leaves office.
Speaking before a crucial trip to the US, including the UN, to shore up support for Ukraine in the war, Zelenskyy said he would present a “victory plan” to end the war. Zelenskyy on Sunday will visit the Pennsylvania ammunition factory that is producing one of the most critically needed munitions for his country’s fight.
He is expected to go to the Scranton army ammunition plant to kick off a busy week in the US shoring up support for Ukraine, officials told the Associated Press. This week he also will address the UN general assembly’s annual gathering in New York and travel to Washington for talks with President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.
