"It’s a telling sign of the state of global affairs that Volodymyr Zelensky’s first stop on his US visit was in the swingiest of swing states in the presidential election: Pennsylvania,” Bloomberg reports.

“The visit was to an ammunition factory, one of the few in the country making the kind of artillery shells that Ukraine is running low on in its fight against Russia. What’s more it’s in Scranton, President Joe Biden’s home town and a symbol for the disaffected voter in the Rust Belt that will decide who wins.”

“Pennsylvania also happens to be home to one of the largest Ukrainian American populations in the US.”
