Biden approves provision of antipersonnel mines to Ukraine

"U.S. President Joe Biden has authorized the provision of American antipersonnel mines to

Ukraine. The United States had a stockpile of about 3 million antipersonnel land mines as of 2022. The mines had not been used since 1991.
Biden had been reluctant to supply Ukraine with the mines in the face of concerns within his own administration and from a wide range of anti-mine advocates who say the risk to civilians is unacceptably high. But Russia’s battlefield progress in recent months has forced the White House to find fresh ways to help Kyiv." Ukrin
