U.S. Military Sends Troops to Russian Border, Officials Say They Want ‘Peace, Not War’ With Russia

U.S. Military Sends Troops to Russian Border, Officials Say They Want ‘Peace, Not War’ With Russia

 

 Russia has accused the U.S. of violating a peace treaty between Moscow
and the Western military pact NATO after the Pentagon deployed a new
force in the tense Baltic region. It's
the latest of several Western moves seen as provocations by Russia,
which has vowed to respond. Since Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula
amid political unrest in neighboring Ukraine in 2014, NATO has
significantly expanded its military presence near Russia, especially
among the three Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania—and Poland.
These four nations were designated by the U.S. last year to host NATO
battle groups, but the multinational coalition has expanded its forces
beyond these countries, drawing further Russian fury. The troops are
part of Washington's latest effort to bolster allied nation's against
what they perceive to be a military threat from neighboring Russia.
Moscow, however, has accused the U.S. and its NATO allies of undermining
Russia's own security by surrounding it with hostile forces.
