Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy toured an ammunition plant in the U.S. on Sunday, as part of a visit to present a “victory plan” to President Joe Biden and his two potential successors, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Ahead of the trip, Zelenskyy said that if his peace plan is backed by the West, it will have a broad impact on Moscow, including a psychological one that could help compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war diplomatically.

"The Victory Plan envisages quick and concrete steps by our strategic partners—from now until the end of December," Zelenskyy told reporters on Friday.

He added that the plan would act as a "bridge" to a second Ukraine-led summit on peace that Kyiv wants to hold and invite Russia to later this year.

During his tour of the 155-millimeter munitions plant in Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Zelenskyy praised the plant's workers for their critical contributions to Ukraine's defense efforts against Russian aggression. “I am grateful to the people of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and all the states where Americans are building this incredible arsenal of global freedom. Together, we are strengthening the defense of liberty and democracy,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.

He added: “they are helping Ukraine stand strong in our fight for freedom.”
