WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States is planning to send a motorized brigade of about 5,000 servicemen to Eastern Europe to strengthen NATO's eastern flank.
Last Tuesday, NATO announced its readiness to deploy additional forces in the Baltic States and Poland. The declared aim of the maneuver is to "protect its Eastern European allies from the so-called Russian aggression."
"The agreement facilitates collaborative efforts to enhance defense capabilities across a wide spectrum of activities," the release stated. "It also permits the establishment of working groups and the transfer of equipment and material to improve collaboration and innovation."
