The U.S. will make a troop deployment in Eastern Europe even though senior Pentagon officials support a new impetus for diplomacy, said President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
At a time when his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Western leaders to avoid inciting “panic” over the massive gathering of Russian troops on his country’s borders, Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed on the need to escalate the situation. .<\/p>\n
Neither Putin nor European and American leaders have so far appeared willing to make concessions on the weeks-long crisis, the worst in decades between Russia and the West.<\/p>\n
But according to a Macron aide, Putin told the French leader in a phone call that lasted more than an hour that he had “no plans to attack.”<\/p>\n
In Washington, however, Biden announced that he would send a small number of US troops to strengthen NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe, where the US already has tens of thousands of troops stationed.<\/p>\n
Senior US defense officials have announced that Russia has amassed enough troops and equipment to threaten all of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
A frontal conflict warned the top US general, Chief of General Staff Mark Milley, would be “terrible” for both sides and with a high death toll.<\/p>\n
