The corresponding step should be to strengthen the defenses of Kyiv against the advancing troops of the Russian Federation.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday confirmed President Joe Biden’s decision to approve the supply of anti-personnel mines to Ukraine. This was reported by the Associated Press on Wednesday, November 20.
It was noted that the Biden administration would allow Ukraine to use anti-personnel mines provided by the United States.
“They asked for mines, and I think it’s a good idea,” Austin said.
On Wednesday night, The Washington Post reported, citing sources, that Biden approved the supply of anti-personnel mines to Ukraine.
As one of The Washington Post’s interlocutors said, Ukrainian politicians promised not to place mines in populated areas. Another source clarified that the use of mines is limited to the territory of Ukraine.
However, the newspaper stressed that the supply of anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine is controversial because the weapons have an indiscriminate effect that can cause serious harm to civilians.
