Zelenskyy to meet with Scholz, Erdogan and Lula on US trip
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with the leaders of Germany, Turkey and Brazil on Monday as part of his five-day trip to the United States.

The leaders were in New York City for the United Nations Summit of the Future.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been a steadfast supporter of Ukraine, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva have taken more neutral approaches to the conflict.

Earlier, on Sunday, Zelenskyy visited an ammunition plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to thank workers for producing one of the most critically needed supplies in Ukraine's fight to push back Russian forces.

"I began my visit to the United States by expressing my gratitude to all the employees at the plant," the Ukrainian president said on social media.

"It is in places like this where you can truly feel that the democratic world can prevail."
Later in the week, Zelenskyy is set to present his "victory plan" to US President Joe Biden as well as presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
