According to him, US President Joe Biden instructed the Pentagon to redeploy part of the US forces in Europe.

“They include an infantry battalion task force of about 800 people, which will be deployed from Italy to the Baltic region,” Kirby was quoted by TASS.

He added that eight F-35 aircraft and other aircraft will be transferred from Germany to the eastern flag of NATO.

Earlier, Deputy Head of the Polish Foreign Ministry Pavel Yablonsky said that the United States could send additional units of the armed forces to Poland.

The Pentagon reported that the United States would not transfer its troops from Poland to Ukraine, but the military could provide assistance if evacuation was necessary.
