“If it is required from the Polish side of the border to provide assistance during the evacuation ... if people cross this border and they need assistance, they will be ready to do it,” he said, Kirby’s words are quoted by TASS.
He stressed that the United States "has no intentions, no plans and no approval to transfer these forces to Ukraine"
“They were sent to Poland, they will stay in Poland,” he said.
Earlier, Kirby said that US troops could be used to help evacuate American citizens from Ukraine, but there are no plans to send them to Ukrainian territory.
In addition, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin ordered the temporary withdrawal of 160 US military instructors from Ukraine.
