The Pentagon is pulling nearly 160 members of the Florida National Guard from Ukraine as top US officials issued a statement warning that a Russian invasion could be imminent. The withdrawal of the military trainers underscores growing concern among US officials that Russian military forces could invade Ukraine any day. As a result, defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a “temporary” repositioning of the Florida Army National Guard members to “elsewhere in Europe,” Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said in a statement, according to the New York Times.
