Russia (bbabo.net) - Russia has every reason to be concerned, said Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on reports of the transfer of US troops to Eastern Europe.

"The United States de facto continues to escalate tensions in Europe," Peskov said on CNN.

Recall, on February 2, it became known that the United States was going to send about 2.5 thousand of its troops to Poland.

In total, Washington plans to transfer 8-8.5 thousand of its military to Eastern Europe.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby immediately hastened to declare that this military contingent was not intended for military operations in Ukraine. These forces will participate in various missions to protect the allies.
