President Joe Biden announced U.S. troop commitments to bolster NATO allies and additional sanctions while condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin and the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Biden was adamant that the U.S. would not deploy troops to Ukraine, but some forces would be mobilized in the region, including sending additional U.S. service members to Germany. “Our forces are not, and will not be, engaged in a conflict with Russia in Ukraine,” Biden said at a press conference Thursday. “Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO allies and reassure those allies in the East. As I made crystal clear, the United States will defend every inch of NATO territory with the full force of American power.”
