Obama
pledges $1bn for more troops, military
drills in E. Europe . . .
President
Obama has announced a plan to invest $1 billion in stepping up its military
presence in Eastern Europe amid the Ukrainian crisis. The White House will send
more troops and equipment to the region to “reaffirm” its commitment to NATO
allies.
Speaking
at a news conference in Warsaw, Obama said America was stepping up its
partnership with countries in Eastern Europe with a view to bolstering
security. The moves are aimed at upping the pressure on Russia, which
Washington has accused of inciting unrest in Ukraine.
In
line with the plans, Obama will ask Congress to provide up to $1 billion to
finance the deployment of more troops and equipment.
"Under
this effort, and with the support of Congress, the United States will
preposition more equipment in Europe," Obama said at the Polish capital's
Belweder Palace.
Earlier
in the day Obama met with US and Polish air personnel in Warsaw and said the US
had already begun rotating additional soldiers in the region.
"Given
the situation in Ukraine right now, we have also increased our American
presence. We've begun rotating additional ground troops and F-16 aircraft into
Poland... to help our forces support NATO air missions," said Obama,
calling the commitment to NATO allies in Europe “the cornerstone of our own
security.”
Obama
called on Moscow to refrain from further provocation in Ukraine and said it has
a responsibility to work constructively with the new government in Kiev. He
added that the troop buildup in Eastern Europe was not meant to threaten
Russia, but “rebuilding trust may take some time.”
The
American president will meet with newly-elected Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko during his two-day stay in Poland.
Polish
President Bronislaw Komorowski praised Washington’s plans to beef up military
forces in the region.
"We
welcome them as an announcement of a real return by NATO to standing very
strongly by the basis of the alliance, which is Article 5, which speaks about
the collective defense of the countries' territories," Komorowski said.
Russia
has decried the increase in NATO troops close to its border as a blatant
provocation and accused the organization of fueling violence in Ukraine. Moscow
has said it is ready for dialogue with Poroshenko, but has urged the newly
elected President to halt the “anti-terror operation” in the east of Ukraine.
“NATO
is providing Kiev – a member of its Partnership for Peace program – with
technical assistance, thus encouraging the prolongation of its use of force.
Thus the Alliance accepts a part of the responsibility for the escalation of
the situation, and the collapse of diplomatic negotiations,” said Aleksandr
Grushko, Russia’s envoy to NATO.
Thus
far the US has deployed 600 troops for military drills in Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania, Estonia and Poland.
John
Rees, British political analyst and national officer at Stop the War Coalition,
told RT the US’ moves were indicative of an “expansionist mood” which could
usher in a “dangerous period of interstate rivalry.”
Rees
said operation Rapid Trident, a joint US, UK and Ukrainian military drill due
to take place next month, could escalate the current crisis even further.
“I
cannot think of anything more dangerous in the current circumstances than to
have a deployment of UK and US troops alongside Ukrainian troops this summer,”
he told RT.
