Joe Biden says he will soon send a small number of US troops to bolster the NATO presence in Eastern Europe as tensions rise over Russia's military buildup on the borders of Ukraine:

US President Joe Biden meets with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office of the White House in September 2021.United States President Joe Biden said Friday he will soon send a small number of US troops to bolster the NATO presence in Eastern Europe as tensions rise over Russia's military buildup on the borders of Ukraine.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but Washington fears spillover into neighboring NATO countries if Russia attacks Ukraine. Dozens of civilians have been joining Ukraine's army reserves in recent weeks amid fears about Russian invasion. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, urging him to step back from escalating tensions over Ukraine, Downing Street said Friday.

"Do we have tanks in our streets? No. But if you're not here you get the sense from the media that there's a war on. We don't need this panic," Mr Zelenskiy said. "This speculative stuff puts pressure on investors, creditors and on ordinary people. And that worsens other economic indicators."According to one source familiar with their conversation, Mr Zelenskiy in his latest call with Biden on Thursday downplayed the risk of a Russian attack and focused on Ukraine's economy instead.
