CODEPINK Condemns Biden’s Authorization to Deploy More Reservists to Europe

In the strongest possible terms, CODEPINK condemns President Biden’s decision to authorize US military leaders to deploy another 3,000 reservists to Europe in response to the Russia-Ukraine war. The president’s announcement follows the deployment of tens of thousands of US troops to Europe in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. It is not a coincidence that this decision was announced immediately after the NATO summit in Lithuania.

“You don’t need a fortune teller to predict the Biden administration is marching us into a direct war with Russia, a country of 143 million people, 185 different ethnicities and 6,000 nuclear warheads. This is reckless beyond belief,” said Marcy Winograd, coordinator of CODEPINK Congress and co-chair of the Peace in Ukraine Coalition.
