In the latest move by the outgoing US administration to bolster Ukraine's war effort before Donald Trump returns to the White House, Joe Biden has
pledged anti-personnel landmines for Kyiv. It's the second big change in policy from the US in recent days, having already allowed Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia with US-supplied missiles. Russian troops are
advancing steadily in the east of Ukraine. Moscow's forces have taken more ground since September than they did over the course of 2023, analysts say. Within hours of Biden's offer of landmines to slow that progress, the US embassy in Kyiv has temporarily closed after receiving information of a "potential significant air attack". Follow the
latest updates and analysis on our live page.

Our political editor Chris Mason gives us his thoughts.
