A plane carrying US soldiers landed in southern Poland, on US President Joe Biden’s order to deploy additional troops to Poland, Romania and Germany this week, amid rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

The 1,700 US soldiers sent to Poland on Sunday will operate in the country’s eastern-southern part, according to the Polish Defense Ministry.

Logistics, equipment and a handful of soldiers arrived in other planes on Friday and Saturday, Xinhua news agency reported.
