Biden Faces Backlash Over Decision to Send Landmines to Ukraine

Human rights groups are criticizing President Joe Biden's decision to send anti-personnel land mines to Ukraine, reversing his previous policy to limit their use. The move, intended to counter Russian advances, has been defended by the Biden administration as the mines provided are "non-persistent" and become inert over time. However, critics argue that these weapons pose long-term dangers to civilians, violating international humanitarian law. The decision reflects growing U.S. concerns over Russia's gains in eastern Ukraine.
