A US military contingent is stationed at the US embassy in Ukraine and assists in the responsibility of military assistance to Ukraine.
The United States and Latvia have confirmed that they have a small number of their military personnel in Ukraine not participating in the conflict. John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, said this on Wednesday, April 12, in an interview with Fox News.
“The embassy has a small US military contingent that works alongside the defense attaché’s office to help us work on accountability for equipment coming in and out of Ukraine,” he explained.
At the same time, the White House spokesman emphasized that the US military “does not fight on the battlefield.”
“There is no change in President Joe Biden’s decision that US troops in Ukraine will not participate in this war,” Kirby said.
In this regard, the Ministry of Defense of Latvia, writes Delfi, said that a small number of Latvian military personnel are in Ukraine to perform some auxiliary duties, including guarding the Latvian embassy in Ukraine and cargo, but “they do not participate in battles.”
Earlier, the BBC, citing a leak of secret US documents, reported that special forces from Great Britain (50 people), Latvia (17 people), France (15 people), USA (14 people) and Netherlands (one person) are in Ukraine.
It will be remembered, the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, said that the law allows foreign pilots to fight on the side of Ukraine.
The United States has announced a new leak of a batch of secret documents outlining US national security principles. The documents relate to the war in Ukraine, China and the Middle East.
On the eve of the Pentagon admitted the “leakage of documents.” The White House noted that the authenticity of the documents had been checked, now knowing that some were forged.
