'It's coming': Biden warns of Russian cyberattacks on US amid Ukraine war
The Pentagon has not ruled out sending more troops to Europe to bolster NATO's eastern flank as the war in Ukraine continues.
A senior U.S. defense official told reporters on Tuesday that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is “not taking that off the table, the possibility that we could possibly deploy additional U.S. forces to the eastern flank,” though he emphasized that there was no change yet.
"This is something the secretary is looking at every week, and he's not going to foreclose any option if it's a valuable requirement to bolster the eastern flank," the official added.
