UKRAINE TENSIONS: First US reinforcement troops arrive in Poland

The first US troops have arrived at the Rzeszow military base in southeastern Poland. Saturday's arrival aims at reinforcing NATO allies in Eastern Europe amid a Russian military build-up on Ukraine's border. On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden ordered nearly 3,000 extra troops to Poland and Romania to shield Eastern Europe from potential spillover from the Ukraine crisis. According to US Army sources, about 1,700 service members, mainly paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, will deploy from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Poland in coming days.
