The first soldiers from the United States arrived in Wiesbaden. A total of 2,000 US soldiers will come to Europe in support of NATO allies. A headquarters for 1700 paratroopers going to Poland will be established in Germany, three hundred men will remain in Germany.
Earlier this week, US President Joe Biden ordered nearly 3,000 additional troops to be sent to Poland and Romania. Romania is getting about 1,000 US military personnel now stationed in Germany.
The Americans hope that the troop reinforcements will also send a signal to Moscow not to invade Ukraine again after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. The Russians see a bond with the rebellious pro-Russian population in the east of the country.
