Volodimir Zelensky: Very important are the mines the US will give us

As “very important” he described the anti-personnel mines that Ukraine is preparing to send, the president of Ukraine Volontimir Zelenski estimated on Wednesday (20.11.2024) that mines would play a very important role in stopping the advance of Russia’s army in the eastern provinces. Non-governmental organizations, including the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign for the Prohibition of Mines (ICBL) denounced the US decision, describing it as “destructive”. In recent times Russia’s forces have been gaining ground against the soldiers of Ukraine who are less numerically and not equally well equipped. “What we saw more recently is that, because the Russians were so failing in the way they were fighting, they changed their tactics a little and no longer lead with their mechanized forces. Ukraine now needs weapons, such as anti-personnel mines to slow Russia’s efforts on the ground,” he explained earlier.
