Why US handed over landmines to Ukraine in big policy shift
The Statesman|November 22, 2024
The US decision to send anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine was triggered by a change in Russian battleheld tactics favouring infantry over mechanised units, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said.
Why US handed over landmines to Ukraine in big policy shift

"They don't lead with their mechanised forces anymore, " Austin told reporters while on a visit to Laos. "They lead with dismounted forces who are able to close and do things to kind of pave the way for mechanised forces."

The announcement made on Wednesday points to a major policy shift, which has been slammed by rights groups.

President Joe Biden's reversal of his previous curbs on US landmines comes just days after Washington gave Ukraine the green light to use US-made long-range missiles on targets within Russia, a longstanding ask from Kyiv.
