U.S. military personnel are now on the ground in Ukraine, keeping track of and inspecting weapons the U.S. has shipped to Ukrainian forces, a senior defense official announced during a Pentagon background briefing on Monday. These U.S. personnel are some of the first the Pentagon has acknowledged have entered Ukraine since Russia launched its large scale invasion of the country in February.
The senior defense official who spoke on background during an official Pentagon event, said, “U.S. personnel have recently resumed on-site inspections to assess weapon stocks in country whenever and wherever the security conditions allow.” The official said “the return of our defense attaché and Office of Defense Cooperation personnel in country has allowed us to resume this critical function.”
The U.S. Defense attaché for Ukraine is U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Garrick Harmon.
The Biden administration ordered U.S. troops out of Ukraine in February just days before Russia launched its invasion. The Associated Press reported the administration did return some troops to provide security at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv earlier this year.

Mushroom clouds over the United States. Mushroom clouds over Russis. Which will be first is anybody’s guess.
“President Truman, President Eisenhower, and President Kennedy all had advisors in Vietnam, it took 13 years (1950-1963) before JFK suddenly sent in 16,000 troops in 1963.”
It was before my time.(born 1971)
JFK & LBJ were the guys that made Vietnam the ‘Vietnam War.’
Nixon became the fall guy for their foreign policy stupidity, but it was a small price to pay for the 1964 civil rights act.
I’m a huge fan of the CRA BTW...I get to hear dumb bitches & fags yak on TV all the time.(Sarcasm)
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled US forces now on the ground in Ukraine, freeandfreezing wrote: Probably in response to all the Freepers posting fake news about weapons in Ukraine supposedly being diverted. Without the need to rebut those falsehoods the US troops wouldn't be there.
Freepers do not direct foreign policy and did not create the need to rebut anything.
Biden needs the Ukraine - it's where he launders billions. Remember him extorting the Ukrainian official - told him he wouldn't get the billion dollars in aid unless he fired the prosecutor investigating Hunter's corruption there?
The Ukraine is Deep State headquarters and the lives of its citizens mean nothing to Zelensky, Biden and other globalists.
US troops are in the Ukraine because Biden needs to protect his 'investments'. His son Hunter and his brother Jim both involved in corruption in the Ukraine. Recall Hunter's Burisma etc.
Support for Zelensky/Ukraine is support for Biden/Deep State
>>U.S. military personnel are now on the ground in Ukraine, keeping track of and inspecting weapons the U.S. has shipped to Ukrainian forces<<
Are they armed?
When fired upon, are they allowed to return fire?
Are they considered enemy combatants and/or invaders?
Vietnam, redux.
I heard on NEWSMAX this morning that Putin met with his advisers to discuss the use of tactical nukes. With his medical condition (pancreatic cancer) Putin may not give a sh*t and start launching nukes while Biden does not know how to respond. Let this be a lesson of what a stolen election can result in.
So what things did you consider? How do you know Ukraine "is a very corrupt country"?
We never hired Biden for good ideas.
How is it that mainstream media reports about Ukraine are all fake propaganda according to you and the pro-Russia crowd except when CBS supposedly supports Russian propaganda talking points?
Do you agree that CBS reports of atrocities by Russian troops in Bucha are correct?
unles you have a mouse in your pocket, forget about the “we”. I never hired Biden. Period.
Russia is now hiring Afghans that we left behind. They all use American weaponry that need inspection by us.
Get the US out of corrupt Ukraine. Nuclear death trap.
You, on the other hand, believe all the lies about this war coming straight from the Biden regime.
This war is a result of the policies of both the Biden and Obama regimes, specifically of Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken, who served in both regimes.
Stop pretending there is anything remotely conservative about supporting what has and is going on Ukraine.
There is a reason why George Soros, WEF, all of the mainstream media and Hollywood are behind it.
Most of those here like you do nothing but post about this war and couldn't care less about the many more important issues and crucial mid-term coming up.
>>Military-grade weaponry in Ukraine is allegedly being sold on to international buyers on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, including some hardware made in the United States.<<
Do you really think that all the goodies Biden granted the Taliban, stayed in Afghanistan? They’re scattered all over the world.
So now we have US soldiers, hanging around a prime target of the Russians. They are trying to get our men killed to have an excuse to go direct against Russian forces.
This is what happens when you let a dementia patient steal an election, his three closest advisors are girl boss women, and his generals are incompetent failures.
Ever since the Biden administration, I cringe when we accuse a foreign nation of corruption. Why worry about US weaponry availability on the black market when we left billions worth in the hands of the Taliban? You think they kept it in a piggy bank?
I bet some have been killed already
I wonder how many?
