Zelensky’s ammo factory visit during 2024 presidential campaign explodes at White House meeting. US Vice-President J.D. Vance accused him on Friday of working against President Donald Trump in the run-up to the election. Zelensky started to react, saying, \”You think that, if you will, speak very loudly about the war …\”, when Trump cut him off. \”He is not speaking very loudly. Your country is in big trouble,\” he said. The shells are vital to Ukraine’s war, and the US had boosted their production by 50 per cent and invested $400 million in modernising the plant. The US House of Representative Oversight Committee Chair James Comer launched an investigation into whether it was foreign interference. The investigation did not go further than a letter from Comer to then-Attorney General Merrick Garland. The Ukrainian leader posted on X after the factory visit, \”It is in places like this where you can truly feel that the democratic world can prevail.\” He added, \”Thanks to people like these — in Ukraine, in America, and in all partner countries — who work tirelessly to ensure that life is protected\”
