Democrats’ Perfect Phone Call to Zelensky

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is campaigning in Scranton, Pa.:

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Pennsylvania on Sunday to visit a military facility in Lackawanna County that builds some of the equipment used in the weaponry his country is using in its war with Russia. Gov. Josh Shapiro, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-8th District) and other local officials were on hand for Zelenskyy’s tour of the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (SCAAP), which builds 155-millimeter howitzer rounds for the U.S. Department of Defense. “Pennsylvania is the birthplace of American freedom and our Commonwealth proudly stands with the people of Ukraine as they fight for their freedom against naked aggression,” Shapiro said in a statement. Zelenskyy toured the 500,000 square-foot facility in President Joe Biden’s hometown, and thanked the workers there, signing some of the shells. During the visit, Shapiro also signed an agreement with the governor of the southeastern Ukraine city of Zaporizhzhia, “that will strengthen both states and foster collaboration for years to come,” he said. “Pennsylvania looks forward to building a close relationship with Zaporizhzhia as we continue to stand on the side of freedom.”
