The U.S. Department of State has officially refuted information of that the U.S. troops are operating in territory of Ukraine. The appropriate statement was made by State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki on Monday at a briefing in Washington, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.
“There are not U.S. troops operating. There was also an accusation that there was a NATO legion in Ukraine, which NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg has spoken to,” the State Department spokesperson noted.
According to Psaki, there have been a range of rumors out there, which are inaccurate.
January 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at one of the universities in St. Petersburg, said that a “NATO legion” operated in Ukraine.
In turn, Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg dismissed as “nonsense” a claim by Putin.
