The Hill | Pentagon puts 8,500 troops on higher alert over Russia-Ukraine tensions
The Pentagon is readying up to 8,500 U.S. troops to potentially deploy to Eastern Europe as Russia ratchets up its aggression towards Ukraine.
"The United States will act firmly in defense of its national interests in response to actions by Russia that harm us, our allies, or partners," press secretary John Kirby told reporters Monday.
