US says it is not ruling out of sending more troops to Europe

SANAA, Feb. 08 (YPA) – The US confirmed on Monday that it does not rule out sending more troops to Europe, given the current tension on the Ukrainian border.

“We are not only communicating with the Pentagon, but also with NATO partners about their needs… We leave the door open to this possibility, ” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a press conference in response to a question about the possibility of sending additional troops to Europe:

Last week, the United States announced the dispatch of additional troops to Europe, while confirming that it would not take part in any operations on Ukrainian territory.

Dmitry Peskov, press secretary for President Vladimir Putin said last Thursday that the transfer of additional US troops to Europe was a step that would not help de-escalate the escalation, but would raise tensions.
