The Biden administration has decided to supply Ukraine with American anti-personnel mines to strengthen their defenses against Russian forces, which have shifted to using more foot soldiers in attacks.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that the U.S. decision responds to Russia's increasing reliance on infantry for assaults, emphasizing that this shift in Russian tactics necessitated new defensive measures for Ukraine.
The White House's recent approval for Ukraine to use longer-range American missiles marks a significant escalation in the conflict in Ukraine, particularly as tensions rise with Russia.
Mr. Austin highlighted the importance of adapting U.S. military assistance to meet the evolving needs of Ukraine's defense, asserting that supplying the requested mines is a strategic decision.
