President Joe Biden has agreed to supply Ukraine with anti-personnel land mines to slow Russian advances in the east. These mines, which deactivate after a set time, will be used only on Ukrainian territory and not in densely populated areas. The US State Department plans to close its Kyiv embassy due to potential air attack threats. Both Ukraine and Russia reported drone attacks, with no immediate casualty reports. This move aims to bolster Ukraine’s defense before Donald Trump returns to the White House. The US has previously provided anti-tank mines to Ukraine.
