Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby has not confirmed reports on the deployment of U.S. troops to Poland because of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

“We continue to look for ways to reassure NATO allies of our strong commitment to collective defense under Article Five,” he told BBC.

“To that end, we are considering a range of additional measures we could take to bolster air, maritime and ground readiness in Europe,” he said.

Kirby said such measures would either be pursued bilaterally with individual nations or through NATO.
