More than 3,000 U.S. troops recently deployed to Poland are preparing to assist refugees who flee Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasion.
This latest tranche of soldiers, approximately 3,000 troops who arrived in Poland over the past four days, are part of a larger group of 82nd Airborne Division troops that President Joe Biden ordered to deploy to the NATO allied country as part of the joint defense alliance.
There are more than 100,000 Russian troops stationed on their borders with Ukraine. Russia claims it is merely engaged in military exercises with its ally, Belarus. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken ordered the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv to close Monday, and directed embassy staff to relocate to Lviv, a city in western Ukraine.
