US to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines as Russia launches new missile

abc.net.au November 21, 2024, 11:01 PM UTC

The U.S. has decided to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel landmines, marking a significant shift in its military support. This follows the recent approval of longer-range missiles for strikes inside Russia, aimed at enhancing Ukraine's defense capabilities. Ukraine claims Russia has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, a claim denied by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who stated it was a new mid-range missile. This escalation comes as both countries prepare for potential negotiations amid ongoing conflict. Human rights groups have criticized the U.S. decision to send landmines, citing risks to civilians. The U.S. plans to provide non-persistent mines, which become inactive after a certain period, differing from the types used by Russia.
