US Faces Criticism Over Biden's Last-Minute Ukraine Aid and Landmine Policy Shift
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration is ramping up military aid to Ukraine, including the provision of non-persistent anti-personnel land mines, to bolster its defense against Russian advances, particularly in the eastern regions. This move reverses a previous policy banning such mines, amid concerns over their long-term risks to civilians. The aid surge comes as President-elect Trump prepares to take office, raising concerns about potential shifts in U.S. policy towards the conflict.
