The U.S. gave the green light to plans to move more troops to Europe and dispatch soldiers already stationed on the continent further east as it seeks to send a stronger military message alongside its diplomatic efforts with Russia over Ukraine.

About 2,000 soldiers will travel from the U.S. to Europe in the coming days, while 1,000 troops based in Germany will be deployed in Romania, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said at a briefing. The moves are temporary, he added.

Russia quickly criticized the decision. Moscow has decried the presence of North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops near Russian borders and called for the alliance to withdraw its forces to positions they occupied in 1997, before it expanded into former Warsaw Pact countries.
