The US is considering sending troops to Eastern Europe in case the situation over Ukraine escalates, the White House said on Monday, warning that the American military could be mobilized.
Speaking at a press briefing, spokeswoman Jen Psaki responded to a journalist asking whether President Joe Biden’s government has an “active plan to deploy American forces” in Europe. The question came as tensions on the frontier between Russia and Ukraine continue to rise, with the Kremlin accused of building up troops near the border.
“What happened – if you look back post-2014 – is a lot of these NATO partner countries were looking for reassurance, were looking to plus-up the presence there, were looking for, you know, additional rotational deployments. And certainly, that is on the table should Russia decide to invade Ukraine,” Psaki explained.

Gazprom: almost all gas pumped in summer has been withdrawn from Ukrainian underground storage facilities
Gas reserves in Ukrainian underground gas storage facilities are 39.2 percent less than last year.
Almost all of the gas pumped there in summer in preparation for winter has been withdrawn from Ukrainian underground storage facilities. This was reported by Gazprom with reference to Gas Infrastructure Europe in its Telegram channel.
"According to Gas Infrastructure Europe, as of December 13, the volume of active gas in European underground storage facilities is 24.5 percent (19.9 billion cubic meters) less than last year's level," says Gazprom.
The company added that fuel reserves in Ukrainian underground storage facilities dropped to 15.34 billion cubic meters, which is 39.2 percent less than last year, or 9.9 billion cubic meters.
“Thus, almost all of the gas pumped in during preparation for winter has already been raised from the storage facilities of Ukraine,” emphasized Gazprom.
