Milan, 8 Apr. (LaPresse) – Senior officials from the US Department of Defense are considering withdrawing up to 10,000 troops from Eastern Europe. This is what six US and European officials familiar with the matter told NBC News. The units under consideration are part of the 20,000 troops that the Biden administration deployed in 2022 to strengthen the defences of Ukraine's neighbouring countries after the Russian invasion. The numbers are still being discussed, but the proposal could involve removing up to half of the forces sent by Biden.
