Washington - The past few days have witnessed remarkable developments in the US-Russian military dealings. On the one hand, the two countries' defense ministers and chiefs of staff held talks, the first in 6 months.
Lloyd Austin spoke with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, and a few days later General Mark Kelly spoke with Russian Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov, and the high-ranking military contacts aimed at maintaining sensitive lines of communication between the two countries in the current circumstances.
On the other hand, the US Army's 101st Airborne Division was deployed to Europe for the first time since World War II, coming very close to the Ukrainian border with Romania.
The division is headquartered in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and about 4,700 of its soldiers are deployed to reinforce the defenses of the countries of the eastern flank of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
This division, which is among the elite US military forces, is participating in maneuvers in advanced border positions near the Ukrainian border aimed at sending a double message to Russia and Washington's allies from NATO countries, that the US military is here.
"We are ready to defend every inch of NATO territory, and we have forces with a unique capability," Brigadier General John Lubas, deputy division commander, told CBA News.
David de Roche, a former Pentagon official and lecturer at the National Defense College in Washington, spoke to Al Jazeera Net about the approach of the 101st Airborne Division soldiers to the Ukrainian border, and said that the forces are not large enough to expect a significant change in the strategic situation of the battles in Ukraine.
"There is only one brigade, not the whole division, most of the division members are still in their base in Kentucky. This is not the force the United States would send to Ukraine if it wanted to send troops there," de Roche believes.
De Roche downplayed the importance of sending these forces to participate in the maneuvers near the Romanian-Ukrainian border, saying, "They are light infantry and are vulnerable to attack from the artillery that Russia now uses inside Ukraine."
"It is easier to move to Europe to conduct a series of military exercises to reassure Romania and remind Russian President Vladimir Putin that NATO will defend its member states," de Roches said.
For his part, Steve Beaver, an expert on European affairs and disarmament at the Brookings Institution, believes that the arrival of the first elements of the 101st Airborne Division to Europe came in late June, and those forces were replacing the 82nd Airborne Division, which was deployed in Europe at the time previous year.

US President Joe Biden reiterates his country's defense of NATO countries, and Biden said last September to the Russian president, "We are fully prepared to defend, I must repeat this, America is fully prepared, along with our NATO allies, to defend all An inch of NATO territory, every inch. Mr. Putin, don't get me wrong, every inch."
For his part, de Roche concluded his speech to Al Jazeera by saying that "before the invasion of Ukraine, he might not have considered such a deployment provocative. But now, this step is important to reassure allies."
