According to some latest reports, troops from the American 82nd Airborne Division landed in southeastern Poland near the Ukrainian border. However, Washington dismissed to deploy troops to combat alongside Ukrainian forces in the reaction against Russian aggression.
However, the United States sent the Kyiv government $500 million worth of defensive missiles and arms.
