Ukraine President Zelensky meets with American defense companies, asks White House for more funds

Zelensky posted footage of himself shaking hands with defense executives such as Boeing President Theodore Colbert, Northrop Grumman Vice President Stephen O’Bryan, and Lockheed Martin Vice President Raymond Piselli. The leader of the eastern European nation said on social media that he expressed gratitude for “every American worker who manufactures weapons that help us safeguard our people and defend our land.”

“We are ready to produce more ammunition and military vehicles, but we require support,” Zelensky stressed. “It is important to develop joint production of artillery ammo, air defense systems, and artillery and missile systems. Together, we can create more jobs, generate more strength, and provide more opportunities for both of our nations.”
