Analysis from CNN's Paul LeBlanc
Russia's unprovoked assault on Ukraine has faced universal
condemnation from Western powers. But putting troops on the
ground in Ukraine, which is not a member of NATO , is a line that the
US and other Western allies have not been willing to cross.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told
CNN on Sunday that the Biden administration "has made clear" the
US will not "put boots on the ground."

Here are some factors behind that decision:
▪ It could touch off a global war: As President Joe Biden told NBC
News earlier this month, "That's a world war when Americans
and Russia start shooting at one another." Retired Lt. Gen. Mark
Hertling, a national security and military analyst for CNN, said on
Sunday that while the Russian invasion was devastating, "it is still
a regional conflict," that could spiral into a multinational one if the
US or NATO sent troops into the country.

▪ What about troops in Europe? While the US has thousands of
troops across Europe, they are not there to fight the Russians —
rather, to defend and reassure NATO allies, Biden said on
Thursday.

▪ When could the US get involved? Ukraine borders the NATO
member countries of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. If
Russia threatened one of these countries, the US — along with
France, Germany, the UK and the rest of the 30-member NATO
alliance — would be required by Article 5 of the North Atlantic
Treaty to respond.
