The United States will send an additional 3,000 soldiers to Poland in the coming days – Reuters agency reported on Friday, citing four sources familiar with the case.
One source, on condition of anonymity, said that the additional troops would come from the US 82nd Airborne Division.
According to the White House, the risk of a Russian invasion of Ukraine is growing.
"We are seeing signs of further escalation from Russia around Ukraine, and we believe a new invasion may occur during the ongoing Olympic Games," Jake Sullivan, US National Security Adviser, said.
Sullivan said the US is not convinced that Russia has already made a decision to attack, but intelligence reports indicate a high risk of "serious military action".
