US Approves Use of Antipersonnel Land Mines by Ukraine Against Russian Forces

 

 In a significant policy shift, the Biden administration has authorized Ukraine to deploy American-supplied antipersonnel land mines in its ongoing conflict with Russian forces. This decision was announced by U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during a visit to Laos.
