The US and Europe are trying to present a united front in the face of Russia’s buildup of troops near the Ukrainian border. The United States has put 8,500 troops on heightened alert – ready to respond if NATO decides to deploy forces.
The Pentagon says no final decisions were made on deployment, but NATO has announced that it is sending more ships and fighter jets to boost defenses in eastern Europe. In recent weeks, Russia has massed around 100,000 troops near Ukraine’s border. Moscow denies it is planning an invasion.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has urged western nations to remain united – and calm – amid heightened tensions with Russia.
After meeting with his national security advisors on Monday, President Zelenskiy addressed the Ukrainian public in a televised speech. He said that his office was working for a peaceful de-escalation of the situation with Russia. He stressed the situation was under control and called for the nation not to panic.
That sentiment was echoed in a separate statement by Ukraine’s head of security council Oleksiy Danilov.

WAR is the important Business of America?
America should not help Ukraine if they are going to turn on us already
Ok listen if Russia wanted to they could easily invade and succeed nobody is really trying to stop them, they’re just “helping” as little as possible to avoid direct contact
haha America always nice when its not on their door , wants a new war i guess
oh no murica the war mongering country number one wants another war.. god must be nice when its never on their own ground.
Russia prepares 100,000 troops and the US prepares 8,500, how is that not remaining calm? We could have put 100,000 troops on alert like Russia.
hope everyone wearing there masks to stop covid
The US will get slaughtered if they try why well the people of the EU won't be massively helping and why again THE EU IS CORRUPT get that tru all of your dumb thick skulls.
I give russia the reasonable point at this point in time a feel bad and shame for being a US citizen we are the bad guys do let know one tell you uderwise
When Biden says it was a good meeting, EU is in for war 🙁
Evil people far away from front lines banging the war drums.
Better be prepared than not. In other terms that’s what is called proaction! In boxing When do you parry the blow when you’re hit already!
Could the US government stop pushing forward a war? Your war playground will be Europe, our home, not yours.
Here we go USA PUTTING THEIR noses where they don't belong..SMH
Russia has more than 100k soldiers on the border and the US has 8500 on the border.
Europe needs to resolve its energy fuel demand domestically and leave the rest of the world alone to live peacefully.
