00:00
As his motorcade approached the ammunition plant, a small number of supporters gathered
00:04
to show their appreciation for Volodymyr Zelensky's visit.
00:08
But the Ukrainian president was there to give thanks himself as factory workers ramp up
00:13
production of 155mm artillery shells, rounds desperately needed by the Ukrainian army to
00:20
fight off Russian advances.
00:23
At one point in the war, Ukraine was firing between 6,000 and 8,000 of the shells per
00:27
day, which started to deplete American stockpiles.
00:31
The US now aims to manufacture 100,000 rounds per month.
00:36
The visit kicked off a busy week for Zelensky in the US as he tries to shore up support
00:41
for Kiev's war effort.
00:43
After speaking at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday and Wednesday, he'll hold talks
00:47
with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Washington on Thursday and is expected to meet with Donald
00:53
Trump.
00:55
It's this fall that will decide what happens next in this war.
00:59
Ukraine will present the victory plan in the United States and the President of the United
01:03
States will be the first to see it in full.
01:08
In particular, Zelensky is hoping to finally receive permission to use American longer
01:12
range missile systems to fire deeper inside Russia.
01:16
Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia would be at war with the US and its NATO allies
01:22
if they allow Ukraine to use the weapons.
01:25
Zelensky's trip comes after a summer of intense fighting, with Moscow advancing in the eastern
01:30
Donbass region and Kiev holding on to swathes of Russia's Kursk region.
01:35
It also coincides with US efforts to prepare a $375 million military aid package for Ukraine,
01:42
breaking a months-long trend towards smaller packages.
