Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was flown into Pennsylvania by the Biden-Harris administration on a U.S. Air Force jet on Sunday for a tour of a munitions factory.
Defense Priorities Public Policy Advisor Dan Caldwell shared a picture of Zelensky’s visit on X, formerly Twitter, and said the Ukrainian president was flown to Pennsylvania on a U.S. Air Force C-17, which is a military cargo jet. The public policy advisor criticized the Biden-Harris administration for using military assets to transport a foreign leader to a critical swing state ahead of the 2024 election.
Caldwell tweeted, “The Biden-Harris admin is using military assets to fly a foreign leader into a battleground state in order to undermine their political opponents.”
According to CNN, Zelensky is currently in the United States to address the United Nations General Assembly and share his “victory plan” for the war in Ukraine.
“This fall will determine the future of this war,” Zelensky shared in a post on X prior to landing in the United States. “Together with our partners, we can strengthen our positions as needed for our victory – a shared victory for a truly just peace.”
CNN reported that Zelensky’s visit took place on Sunday at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, which is located in Biden’s hometown. The outlet noted that CNN thanked the munition plant workers for helping aid Ukraine’s war against Russia and announced that the facility would be increasing its production of 155mm artillery shells.

According to The Post Millennial, Zelensky was joined by Democratic federal, state, and local leaders, including Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.), Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.), and Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.). The outlet said Cartwright delivered a message from the president, saying, “Thank you. And We need more.”
During an interview on Sunday, Zelensky criticized Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), for being “too radical.” He also appeared to criticize the former president’s plan to stop the Ukraine-Russia war, saying, “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how.”
The Biden-Harris administration’s decision to fly Zelensky into Pennsylvania on a U.S. Air Force jet was met with significant backlash on social media.
Journalist Greg Price tweeted, “Zelensky is now touring ammunition factories in Pennsylvania and attacking President Trump and JD Vance in American media outlets. A foreign leader is essentially campaigning for Harris on American soil.”
Andy Ngo, an editor-at-large for The Post Millennial, described the incident as “Foreign election meddling.” Meanwhile, media personality Jack Posobiec asked, “Why is the US Air Force flying around a foreign leader?”
