Stars and Stripes | Biden orders more troops, helicopters and F-35s to Eastern Europe as Russian troops move into Ukraine
President Joe Biden on Tuesday ordered an additional 800 U.S. troops, more than 30 helicopters and as many as eight F-35 fighter jets now in Europe to NATO countries on the alliance’s eastern flank as Russian troops begin to move into Ukraine.
The roughly 800 U.S. troops will deploy to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to "reinforce and reassure our NATO allies today in response to Russian admissions that it will not withdraw its forces from Belarus," the president said in a public address from the White House.
