But to get to your exact question, there is a small U.S. military presence at the embassy in conjunction with the Defense Attach\u00e9s office to help us work on accountability of the material that is going in and out of Ukraine,&#8221; Kirby said, referencing the weapons and other support the U.S. has been sending to Kyiv. &#8220;So they&#8217;re attached to that embassy and to that the defense attache.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kirby, who was speaking on the sidelines of President Biden&#8217;s trip to Northern Ireland, added that those troops &#8220;are not fighting on the battlefield.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There has been no change to the president&#8217;s mandate that there will not be American troops in Ukraine fighting in this war,&#8221; he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional information at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/us-special-forces-ukraine-embassy-official-confirms-pentagon-document-leak-probe-heats-up\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a small U.S. Military presence in Ukraine at the American embassy.
