US troops in Romania. Washington has deployed the 101st Airborne Division, one of the most elite air assault divisions in the US military , just a few kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
It is the first time this has happened in 80 years , against the backdrop of growing tensions between Russia and NATO.
The 101st Airborne Division is a light infantry unit nicknamed "Screaming Eagle": 4,700 soldiers trained to be deployed within hours on any battlefield.
Meanwhile, the Russian radios are giving Ukraine no respite: damaged energy plants, the Internet in fits and starts in various regions and one and a half million people without electricity .
"The aggressor continues to terrorize our country - denounced Zelensky -. The world can and must stop this terror". "By hitting Ukraine's critical infrastructure, the Kremlin wants to provoke new waves of refugees in Europe - warned Mykhailo Podolyak , right-hand man of the Kiev leader -. Whether Putin will be able to implement his plan today depends only on the leaders in European capitals. the only way to stop a humanitarian catastrophe is to quickly relocate air defense and missiles. "
On the Kherson front, however, the Ukrainian counter-offensive does not stop : the pro-Russian authorities have invited the residents to leave the area "immediately" and go to the other areas controlled by Vladimir Putin's army.
The new command of the Russian forces, entrusted to the iron general Serghei Surovikin , meanwhile continues to reorganize itself in Donbass, where the Chechen militias led by the hawk Ramzan Kadyrov , one of the bloodiest men in the service of Vladimir Putin, are also present.
