The U.S. is on the cusp of sending several thousand U.S. troops to Eastern Europe, in what is becoming the worst security crisis to emerge between Moscow and the West since the Cold War. <br />
<br />
As the high-stakes game of brinkmanship and diplomacy continues, the U.S. is standing firm in its commitment to NATO allies by sending $200 million in military aid, including 90 tons of ammunition and anti-tank missiles. NATO countries are also sending military help in the event talks of peace fail. <br />
<br />
"If a single additional Russian force goes into Ukraine in an aggressive way, that could trigger response from us and Europe," said U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. <br />
<br />
The U.S. State Department is urging families of U.S. diplomats in Ukraine to leave the country, although the embassy will remain open for now. They've also issued a level 4: Do Not Travel advisory, as tensions along the Ukrainian border become even more volatile.<br />
<br />
βDo not travel to Russia due to ongoing tension along the border with Ukraine, the potential for harassment against U.S. citizens, the embassyβs limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, COVID-19 and related entry restrictions, terrorism, harassment by Russian government security officials, and the arbitrary enforcement of local law,β the advisory states.
