Biden shifts some 3,000 U.S. troops closer to Ukraine Enlarge this image toggle caption Alex Wong/Getty Images Alex Wong/Getty Images President Biden is moving roughly 3,000 U.S. troops closer to Ukraine, where tensions are running high after Russian President Vladimir Putin positioned a large military force along the two countries' border. The troops are being sent to bolster positions in Poland, Romania and Germany — a result of conversations with NATO allies and especially Romanian leaders, Kirby told NPR's All Things Considered. At the White House, Biden said the move is "totally consistent with what I told Putin in the beginning: as long as he's acting aggressively, we're going to make sure we reassure our NATO allies in Eastern Europe that we're there, and Article 5 is a sacred obligation." "And we certainly have not ruled out the possibility that the president and the secretary of defense might find it suitable and necessary to send additional troops from the United States to Europe," Kirby said.
