BREAKING; President Joe Biden is sending troops to Poland, Germany and Romania amid stalled talks with Russia over its military buildup at Ukraine's borders.
WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden is sending about 2,000 troops from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Poland and Germany this week and shifting roughly 1,000 Germany-based soldiers to Romania, a senior administration official said Wednesday.
Biden had said recently that he intended to provide additional U.S. forces to NATO allies in Eastern Europe as reassurance of an American commitment as treaty allies. In reference to the second document, NATO said that it never comments on"alleged leaks." But the text closely reflects statements made to the media last week by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg as he laid out the 30-nation military organization's position on Russia's demands.
Russian President Vladimir Putin again mentioned the possibility Tuesday, saying that"there are MK-41 launchers there that could be configured for firing Tomahawks." He said they"are offensive systems that could reach thousands of kilometers into our territory. Isn't that a threat to us?" The U.S. underlined after its written proposals in the leaked document that"progress can only be achieved on these issues in an environment of de-escalation with respect to Russia's threatening actions towards Ukraine."
