Original title: the first batch of us reinforcements and elite troops arrive in Poland, and more troops may be deployed in Eastern Europe in the next few days
Recently, the first batch of US troops to reinforce NATO allies in Eastern Europe arrived in Poland. The US military says more US troops will be deployed to Poland in the next few days.
According to Reuters on February 6, Polish military sources said that a C-17 transport plane carrying U.S. troops landed at zheshuf yasinka airport 90 kilometers from the border between Poland and Ukraine that morning. At the same time, relevant preparations are being carried out in the base near the airport. A Polish military spokesman said: "as announced recently, the first batch of elite troops from the United States to reinforce Eastern Europe have arrived in Poland. This force is from the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army." U.S. Army sources said that about 1700 U.S. troops will be deployed from North Carolina to Poland in the next few days, most of them from the 82nd Airborne Division.
On January 28 local time, US President Biden said that he might send a "small amount" of US troops to Eastern Europe and NATO countries in the near future to deal with the tension between Russia and Ukraine. On February 2, Biden said that the United States was "worried" about the crisis in Ukraine or affecting Eastern Europe, so he ordered additional U.S. troops to Poland, Romania and Germany. U.S. Defense Department spokesman Kirby said on the 2nd that the deployment is "cautious and temporary, and the United States has consulted with its European allies". Kirby stressed that these forces will not enter Ukraine to fight, but will "ensure that the US NATO allies have strong defense capabilities".
Kirby also revealed that the deployment is divided into two parts. First, in the next few days, the US side will dispatch 2000 US troops from Fort Bragg army base in North Carolina to Germany and Poland; Second, the US side will deploy 1000 US troops stationed in Germany to Romania. Kirby said that the deployment is based on bilateral agreements between the United States and Germany, Poland and Romania respectively. The United States is continuously evaluating the military strength of these countries and may increase troops again "soon". In response, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grushko responded that the US move was a "destructive measure" and would exacerbate military tensions.
As Russia has gathered 100000 troops at the Russian Ukrainian border, the United States and other countries claim that Russia has the potential of "invasion". Russia has repeatedly denied this and called on the United States to stop hyping the "theory of Russian 'invasion". Russia stressed that because NATO activities threaten Russia's national security, Russia has the right to mobilize troops within its territory to defend its territory. Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President, said that the tension between Russia and Ukraine was caused by the United States and NATO, not Russia. Ukrainian President Zelensky said recently that despite the possibility of war between Russia and Ukraine, the current situation has not escalated. Other countries have been exaggerating and exaggerating the possibility of war, causing "panic".
