“We have no intentions to deploy armed forces and NATO forces in Ukraine,” RIA Novosti quotes Biden.

On January 24, the Pentagon said that the United States is increasing the readiness of troops on its territory and abroad amid tensions around Ukraine.

The number of military personnel reaches 8.5 thousand.

Part of the US military in the event of an escalation around Ukraine will be transferred to Europe in five days, but the deployment order has not yet been given, the military department added.
