Germany says it will add up to 350 troops to a NATO battlegroup it leads in Lithuania, an announcement that comes amid tensions between Russia and Ukraine and criticism of Berlin's refusal to send weapons to Kyiv. Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said during a trip to troops in northern Germany today that the extra soldiers will be dispatched "within a few days."
