AIn view of the tense situation in the Ukraine conflict, US President Joe Biden wants to send around 2,000 soldiers from the USA to Germany and Poland. The US Department of Defense announced on Wednesday in Washington that around 1,000 US soldiers would be transferred from Germany to Romania.
A US official confirmed the troop transfers in principle without naming numbers or countries. “The Department of Defense will move some European-based units further east, deploy additional US-based units to Europe, and maintain the elevated state of alert of reaction forces.” US soldiers “will not fight in Ukraine,” the government official said. The troop transfers are also not permanent. Biden recently had 8,500 US soldiers put on increased alert because of the Ukraine crisis.
More information coming soon.
