America is paying an additional 7000 soldiers to strengthen the "NATO" front against Russia

The US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, announced that his country will send 7,000 soldiers to reinforce the eastern front of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization "NATO" along with the forces present there.

Blinken added in a press conference with his Lithuanian counterpart Gabrielius Landsbergis, today, Monday, that "Russia has enormous strength compared to Ukraine and is able to put pressure on the Ukrainian army, but we want these operations to stop as soon as possible."

"The sanctions and measures taken against Russia are beyond what they expected and are unprecedented, and depriving them of technology will have a long-term impact," he added.

"The stock market is closed, the ruble is falling, and the big companies are fleeing," he added.

"Depriving it (Russia) of technology will have a long-term impact," the US secretary added.

Over the past period, Western countries have adopted a package of strict economic sanctions against Russia, in an attempt to pressure Moscow to stop the military operation it launched in Ukraine on February 24, to protect the residents of the two popular republics of Lugansk and Donetsk.
