US President Joe Biden has approved the provision of anti-personnel mines to Ukraine, marking a shift in US policy amid rising Russian advances in eastern Ukraine. A US defense official confirmed the mines would be non-persistent, becoming inert after a set period, to reduce civilian risks. This decision follows Ukraine’s pledge to use these mines only on its territory and away from densely populated areas. Meanwhile, the US embassy in Kyiv warned of a potential significant air attack on 20 November. Recent reports also highlight drone strikes and escalating missile exchanges between Ukraine and Russia, intensifying the conflict further.
