US may send troops to Ukraine if Kiev defeated, Democratic leader says

The US House of Representatives (lower chamber of the US Congress) Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has not ruled out that the US will have to send troops to the Ukrainian conflict zone in case of Kiev's defeat.

"We can't let Ukraine fall because if it does, then there's a significant likelihood that America will have to get into the conflict — not simply with our money, but with our servicewomen and our servicemen," he said in an interview with CBS television.
