US Greenlights Anti-Personnel Mines for Ukraine Amid Rising Tensions
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has approved sending anti-personnel mines to Ukraine, marking a significant policy shift. This decision follows the recent approval for Ukraine to use long-range US missiles against Russian targets. The mines are intended to bolster Ukraine's defenses in the east, where Russian forces have been advancing. The US has emphasized that these mines are for defensive use within Ukraine and has sought assurances to minimize civilian risk. This move contrasts with the administration's previous stance to limit the use of such mines globally.
