The United States will provide Ukraine with “non-persistent anti-personnel mines”, that is to say equipped with a self-destructive or self-activation system, to strengthen its defenses in the face of the Russian invasion, has just declared to AFP a senior American official.
The American decision comes in the wake of the authorization given by Washington to kyiv to use long-range missiles provided by the United States to strike Russian territory, and risks aggravating the tension not only between these two poles, but around the world.
For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned on Tuesday against the risk of a defeat against Moscow in the event of the end of American aid, judging the “survival” of Ukraine at stake.
Let us recall in this sense, that US President Joe Biden has finally authorized the use of American missiles Atacms by Ukraine, according to an American official.
But their use is likely to revive international tensions. Vladimir Putin has already warned that such a decision would be interpreted as proof that “NATO countries are at war with Russia”.
