A limited number of U.S. troops are in Ukraine to provide support to the nation’s embassy and assist with logistics, according to the White House.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed the U.S. presence in Ukraine following the leak of allegedly top-secret Pentagon files, which claimed that there are 14 U.S. special forces operators in Ukraine.
