Biden approves anti-personnel mines for Ukraine in shift of U.S. military support

President Joe Biden has approved the provision of anti-personnel land mines to Ukraine, according to a report by the Washington Post. Ukraine has committed to not using these mines in heavily populated areas. The Kremlin responded, stating that the West is using Ukraine as a tool to achieve a strategic defeat of Russia. This follows reports of U.S. weapons being used by Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. This development marks a shift in U.S. military support for Ukraine, as it now includes controversial land mines, which were previously restricted under U.S. policy.
