Is Russia Preparing For War? Moscow Calls US Troops In Poland A Threat

The Kremlin warned Thursday that a move to send U.S. troops and tanks to Poland poses a threat to its national security. Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, described the effort as an aggressive step along Russia’s borders.

“We perceive it as a threat,” Dmitry Peskov said on a press conference call with reporters. “These actions threaten our interests, our security. Especially as it concerns a third party building up its military presence near our borders. It’s not even a European state.”
