Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has embarked on a crucial trip to the United States, aiming to end the ongoing conflict with Russia. He met with US President Joe Biden and presented his “victory plan” for peace before discussing the proposals with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy visited a weapons factory in Pennsylvania, thanking workers for their contributions to Ukraine’s war efforts. The factory produces 155mm artillery shells, which are crucial for Ukraine’s defense. The president emphasized the importance of strengthening Ukraine’s weapons capabilities and securing its place in the world’s security architecture. He is pushing for Western-supplied long-range weapons to target military sites in Russia, a request met with resistance from the Biden administration. Amidst the visit, the US is preparing to provide Ukraine with a $375 million military aid package, including patrol boats and additional ammunition. Zelenskyy’s trip comes at a critical time as tensions escalate in eastern Ukraine and Moscow continues to advance. The president’s diplomatic efforts and proposed peace plan are central to achieving stability in the region and ending the conflict.
