US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin has confirmed that Joe Biden's administration will send and allow Ukraine to use US anti-personnel mines to fight Russian troops.
This was reported by The Guardian.
According to the Pentagon chief, Russian ground troops, not armoured personnel carriers, are currently leading the battlefield. That is why Ukraine has ‘a need for things that can help slow down these efforts by the Russians’.
‘The landmines that we would like to give them are mines that are not persistent, meaning that we can control when they self-activate, self-explode, and that makes them much safer than the ones that they create on their own,’ Austin said.
