US President Joe Biden has agreed to give Ukraine anti-personnel land mines, a US official told the BBC.

The official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said such mines would be delivered soon and Washington expected that they would be used on Ukraine’s territory.

Kyiv was also committed to not using such mines in areas populated with Ukrainian civilians, the official said.

The move is seen as an attempt to slow Russian troops who have been steadily advancing in Ukraine’s east in recent months.
