The United States said Sunday it was not sending troops to start a war with Russia after deploying 3 000 additional soldiers to Germany and Eastern Europe over the Ukraine standoff with Moscow.
President Joe Biden “has been clear for months now that the United States is not sending forces to start a war or fight a war with Russia in Ukraine,” national security advisor Jake Sullivan told Fox News Sunday.
“We have sent forces to Europe to defend NATO territory.”
Sullivan told Meet the Press on NBC that “a military escalation and invasion of Ukraine could happen at any time.
“We believe that the Russians have put in place the capabilities to mount a significant military operation into Ukraine, and we have been working hard to prepare a response,” he said.
