Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin warned Congress Tuesday that the United States may have to put troops on the ground in Europe to defend NATO allies if lawmakers don’t pass more aid for Ukraine.
“If [Vladimir] Putin takes over Ukraine, he'll get Moldova, Georgia, then maybe the Baltics,” House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) told The Messenger after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and senior Biden administration military and intelligence officials briefed House lawmakers. According to the lawmaker, the officials pushed Congress to approve more aid to Ukraine.
