Hundreds of German Soldiers, Military Vehicles Arrive at Lithuanian NATO Base

A German army convoy of 130 soldiers and 60 vehicles reached Lithuania on Thursday, bringing almost half of the planned reinforcements for the country's German-led NATO battlegroup amid fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

U.S. President Joe Biden said Thursday there was now every indication Russia was planning to invade Ukraine, including signs Moscow was carrying out a false flag operation to provide a pretext, after Ukrainian government forces and pro-Moscow separatists traded fire.

The reinforcements will arrive until the end of the week, bolstering German forces in Lithuania by more than 350 soldiers and 100 vehicles, according to battlegroup commander Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Andrae.

The use of the Black Cross (Schwarzes Kreuz) by the Bundeswehr is not controversial. Indeed, reversion to the Black Cross in 1956 was meant to symbolise a break with the Nazi era and a return to older military traditions.
