NEW YORK, April 12. /TASS/. The US has deployed two brigades numbering a total of about 20,000 servicemen near the border with Ukraine, US journalist Seymour Hersh said in an article on Wednesday.
In the article he published on the Substack platform, he suggested that US President Joe Biden could utilize these troops in the conflict in Ukraine.
"A brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division has been intensively training and exercising from its base inside Poland within a few miles of the Ukrainian border. It was reinforced late last year by a brigade from the 101st Airborne Division that was deployed in Romania. The actual manpower of the two brigades, when administrative and support units - with the trucks and drivers who haul the constant stream of arms and military equipment flowing by sea to keep the units combat ready - could total more than 20,000," he wrote.
"If worse comes to worst for the undermanned and outgunned Ukraine army in the next few months, will the two American brigades join forces with NATO troops and face off with the Russian army inside Ukraine? Is this the plan, or hope, of the American president? Is this the fireside chat he wants to give? If Biden decides to share his thoughts with the American people, he might want to explain what two army brigades, fully staffed and supplied, are doing so close to the war zone," he went on to say.
Hersh earlier accused Biden of organizing the sabotaging of the Nord Stream underwater pipelines.
