The Americans are going to run! The White House plans a massive evacuation of expatriates from Ukraine: paratroopers help!
Fueled by the United States, the crisis in Ukraine is unprecedentedly tense. On Wednesday, Russia's permanent representative to the European Union, Vladimir Chizov, revealed that more than 125,000 Ukrainian military personnel are currently stationed near the border with Russia. According to Western estimates, 130,000 Russian troops have now assembled in Russia and Belarus, close to the Ukrainian border.
250,000 troops chen soldiers on the border, the situation can get out of control at any time. According to the propaganda of the United States, Russia may launch an offensive against Ukraine at any time. At this critical juncture, from February 6 to February 9, 11 C-17A Globemaster III military transport aircraft of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division arrived in Poland to deploy about 1,050 airborne troops to Poland.
According to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, "These forces will not fight in Ukraine." So what is the real purpose of the U.S. increase in troops in Poland? On February 10, a report by the U.S. Military Times exposed the true purpose of U.S. troops — to prepare for a massive evacuation of their civilians from Russia before the war in Ukraine.
On February 9, the website Alarabiya reported that the White House had unveiled a plan to help thousands of Americans evacuate Ukraine amid a tense Ukraine crisis and the threat of war. The U.S. Military Times said that the U.S. troops who have been deployed to NATO countries will be ready to help with the evacuation of their nationals from Ukraine, and Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters directly on Wednesday that the airborne troops of the 82nd Airborne Division who arrived in Poland are setting up tents and checkpoints near polish garrisons.
Currently, nearly 30,000 Americans are in Ukraine, and some of them may want to leave quickly if Russia uses force against Ukraine. Kirby said, "I can't rule out the fact that these soldiers can be used for evacuation assistance on the other side of the border to some extent, and of course they will be prepared to do so." ”
Previously, the Wall Street Journal report in the United States also confirmed that some US officials broke the news that in the next few days, more than a thousand soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division deployed in Poland will begin to set up checkpoints, tent camps and other temporary facilities near the border between Poland and Ukraine to provide services for americans who are about to arrive from Ukraine.
The 82nd Airborne Division is the ace unit of the U.S. Army, with short response times and a variety of military missions. Most crucially, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, Lieutenant General Eric Curilla, had also arrived in Poland earlier. The general was the commander who organized the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. A U.S. Defense Department official said: "Everyone who has experienced the withdrawal from Afghanistan feels that this is good, but it is also chaotic, so we do not want the evacuation of the Ukrainian community to be chaotic again." ”
On February 10, Russia's TASS news agency also reported on the large-scale evacuation of U.S. troops from Ukraine, saying that "the Pentagon does not rule out that U.S. troops in Poland will help evacuate Americans from Ukraine." Previously, the U.S. State Department had warned any American who resided or visited Ukraine to leave the country as soon as possible.
Notably, as early as the end of January, the U.S. State Department ordered the families of U.S. Embassy employees in Kiev to leave Ukraine and allowed some diplomatic mission staff to leave Ukraine because of "the increased threat of Russian military action." ”
If the United States does want to withdraw its nationals from Ukraine on a large scale, this also means that war will begin. Of course, it is not excluded that the United States wants to add fuel to the fire of the Ukrainian crisis by rendering the situation through the evacuation of its overseas Chinese. After all, only the more chaotic the situation, the greater the interests of the United States.
