On Tuesday, a senior U.S. defense official reiterated that U.S. troops will not be fighting in Ukraine. That includes in the use of a no-fly zone, saying there's no discussion about it.Service members with the 82nd Airborne Division arrived with a mobile radar unit, Humvees and other heavy equipment.
President Joe Biden has deployed 7,000 U.S. service members to NATO's eastern flank in recent weeks, most of them to Poland, adding to the 4,000 that were already stationed in the country. Last week, the president sent an additional 7,000 troops to Germany. The goal of the drills, according to the Pentagon, is for the American and Poles to get to know each other's equipment, capabilities and tactics.
The rising show of force goes beyond troops. The day after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. transferred UH-60 Black Hawks and AH-64 Apache attack helicopters there from a base in Greece.
