Russia Says US Troops Being Deployed To Poland Are A Threat To National Security

BBC: US tanks and troops in Poland a threat, Russia says

Russia says it views the arrival of more than 3,000 US soldiers in Poland as a threat to its own security.

The troops are part of President Barack Obama's response to reassure Nato allies concerned about a more aggressive Russia.

It is the largest US military reinforcement of Europe in decades.

President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the BBC that the move "threatens our interests and our security".

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Mechkov called the deployment a "factor destabilising European security".
