US to supply antipersonnel mines to Ukraine, government official says
The United States will supply Ukraine with antipersonnel mines to strengthen the country’s defense against the invasion launched by Russia, a US government official said.
Washington will send “non-persistent antipersonnel mines” to kyiv, equipped with a self-destruct or self-deactivation device, the same unnamed source told the France-Presse news agency on Tuesday night.
The decision came hours after Pentagon sources said the United States will send new weapons worth $275 million (€260 million) to Ukraine before Donald Trump takes over the US presidency on January 20. 2025.
Joe Biden’s administration is rushing to do everything it can to help kyiv fight Russia in the current US president’s two months left, as the aid package has not yet been approved.
