82nd Airborne could welcome American evacuees in case of Ukraine invasion

READ OF THE DAY

The State Department has warned any Americans living in or visiting Ukraine that they should plan to leave the country as soon as possible, while working diplomatic channels to head off a possible Russian incursion into that country.

But if all fails, some of the U.S. troops who have been deployed to NATO countries will be on hand to help out, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday, partially confirming a Wall Street Journal report about 82nd Airborne Division troops setting up tents and checkpoints in Poland.
