The US previously told families of embassy workers to leave amid a feared Russian invasion. The Pentagon said it would send 3,000 combat troops from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Poland to join 1,700 assembling there. The move is a demonstration of America’s commitment to NATO allies that are worried at the prospect of Russia invading Ukraine, AP reported. President Joe Biden has urged Americans to leave Ukraine, saying US personnel will not be sent in to retrieve them if Russia attacks the country. Russia has been deploying military troops to the Ukraine border and Biden says he expects President Vladimir Putin to give the go-ahead to attack Ukraine in the coming days.
