US President Joe Biden has agreed to send anti-personnel land mines to Ukraine.
These mines are designed to hurt people, not just damage buildings. A US official said they will be delivered soon and are expected to be used on Ukrainian territory.
The government in Kyiv has promised not to use the mines in areas where many civilians live. This move is seen as a way to slow down Russian troops who have been advancing in eastern Ukraine.
The US hopes that these mines will help Ukraine fight back against Russia’s invasion. We will update this story with more information soon.
