US troops preparing to help Americans fleeing Ukraine should Russia invade

The White House has reportedly approved a plan that would stage U.S. troops on the Poland side of the Ukrainian-Polish border to help Americans leaving Ukraine should Russia invade.

The troops would set up the logistical support for Americans evacuating Ukraine, such as tent camps and other temporary facilities, though they would not be authorized to enter Ukraine, and the military would not transport evacuees from Ukraine to other countries, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
