  • The Pentagon has readied up to 8,500 troops for rapid deployment. The troops would be destined for deployment to NATO states in the Baltics and Eastern Europe. There is no suggestion yet that US troops could be deployed to Ukraine itself which would be considered a serious escalation of the crisis.
  • Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have called for bipartisan congressional briefings on the situation after members return to the Hill next week.
