As previously reported, soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division from the United States arrived in Poland. Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak recalled that in general, 1,700 US military personnel are expected to arrive in the country. The contingent should strengthen the eastern borders of NATO against the background of the Russian threat.
This was preceded by the fact that the President of the United States Joe Biden officially approved the additional deployment of American troops in Eastern Europe. We are talking about 3,000 troops that will be transferred to Romania and Poland.
