SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has visited 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. His visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant on Sunday took place under extraordinarily tight security. The plant is one of the few facilities in the country to manufacture 155 mm artillery shells and Ukraine has already received more than 3 million of them. Rep. Matt Cartwright, a Democrat from the Scranton area, was among those who met with Zelenskyy. He said the president had a simple message: “Thank you. And we need more.”
