The President Biden administration moved forward with a new defense-related decision: allowing anti-personnel mines transfer to Ukraine. This step aims to help counter russian military advance but got mixed feedback from weapons-monitoring groups
In a double-sided move late this fall‚ the White House also okʼd Ukraineʼs use of far-reaching missile tech that can hit targets within russia (which adds to Kyivs combat options).

The White Houseʼs recent choices reflect its push to strengthen Ukraineʼs defense capabilities — even as Bidenʼs term winds down in early twenty-twenty-five
