WASHINGTON (Sputnik ) - The United States will not send any troops to fight in Ukraine, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said on Monday.
US House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Sunday that there is a significant likelihood the United States will have to send troops to the conflict zone if Ukraine falls, adding that Washington must continue supporting Kiev in order to prevent a broader war.
"The president [Joe Biden] has made clear that he will not send US troops to fight in Ukraine," Miller said in a press briefing.
No Reason to Adjust US Nuclear Posture in Response to Russia Drills
The United States sees no reason to change its nuclear stance in response to Russia's planned drills on tactical nuclear weapons nor does it see signs that Moscow is preparing to use nuclear arms in Ukraine, the spokesperson noted.
"Russia’s rhetoric has been reckless and irresponsible throughout this conflict. That said, we have not seen any reason to adjust our own nuclear posture and, in response, to these announcements nor any indications that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine," Miller said during the briefing.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the General Staff of the Russian armed forces had started preparations for exercises involving missile units of the Southern Military District, aviation, as well as naval forces, in order to increase the readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces to carry out combat missions.
During the exercises, the Russian armed forces will practice a set of activities for the preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear weapons, the ministry said. The drills should be perceived in the context of NATO's recent destabilizing actions as well as the latest bellicose statements made by Western officials, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Everything done is based on focus groups and polling.
I think sending Americans to fight ranked a little more popular than “need more TV medical and drug ads with side effects and warnings read by a narrator” and “sciatic nerve pain in back and legs.”
They know they can send out Jennifer Faux Griffin and a couple others, and the same people that wanted Ukraine will be behind sending Troops.
They know with a media blitz they can get anything they want in 24 hours.
You don’t talk about before an Election though.
You’re right about focus groups and polling.
That’s their priority in life, always.
Yeah, lets die so liberal 'elties' can send their drug addicted whore monger sons to Ukraine for jobs that pay $60,000 A MONTH.
They can get away with anything.
That’s why after 9yrs of nothing but attacks,
Pres Trump is the under even money favorite while they cling to the slimmest margin of power despite immense collusion.
Boots were to be on the ground over 2yrs ago according to the up is down crowd.
Jefferies spilled the beans and the State Dept is running scared.
Do “military advisors “ count as troops?
How does one know the State Department spokesperson is lying?
Its lips are moving.
Most likely we already have people on the ground in the form of “advisors”. Has anyone else seen this movie before?
Absolutely. When the Government denies it will happen, it will/has. The Biden Worshipers, Neo Cons, and Globalists will get us [United State of America] in a full blown all out nuclear war with Russia or bust the Gates of Hell trying.
IOW, they’re on their way as we speak.
Good morning Viet Nam
