These weapons are banned by more than 150 countries - so why is the US sending them to Ukraine?
Wednesday, 20 November 2024 President Joe Biden has approved sending anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine, as he seeks to ramp up support for Kyiv in his final days in office.
US Vice President J.D. Vance has defended his fiery Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, calling the February confrontation “useful” for Americans to witness. The heated exchange erupted during Zelensky’s Washington visit to secure a deal over Ukraine’s mineral resources. When Donald Trump explained his decision to stay neutral and pursue diplomacy with Moscow instead of ramping up military aid, Zelensky accused him of speaking from the safety of “a nice ocean.” Vance shot back, calling the remark “disrespectful,” and Trump told Zelensky not to lecture Americans. Vance later argued that years of unchecked aid under Joe Biden lacked strategy and failed to advance peace. He said the episode exposed Washington’s frustrations and underlined Trump’s push for a settlement with Moscow. The clash has become a flashpoint in US-Ukraine relations, showing cracks in support for Kyiv as Trump courts a diplomatic end to the war.

In a fiery White House exchange, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sided with U.S. President Donald Trump as both leaders accused Joe Biden of enabling North Korea’s nuclear rise. President Lee told Trump the Korean peninsula was “stable” during Trump’s first term, but claimed North Korea advanced its weapons program significantly under Biden’s watch. Trump immediately seized the moment, declaring, “They would not have done that if I were President,” to which Lee replied, “I completely agree with you.” The dramatic on-camera moment is fueling debate in Washington and Seoul, with critics warning that such public criticism of Biden could inflame U.S. domestic politics and reshape Korean diplomacy. Supporters of Trump, however, hailed the remarks as proof that his strongman approach had kept Pyongyang in check. The sharp rebuke leaves Biden facing fresh questions over his North Korea policy.

Russia’s missile strike on the U.S.-owned Flex factory in Ukraine was seen as a potential turning point in the war. But instead of lifting the ban on deep Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, President Trump responded with a tweet blaming Biden—without directly condemning Putin. Even after Putin openly rejected Trump’s calls for talks, the U.S. president showed restraint, raising doubts about his approach to Moscow. With Ukraine seeking stronger support and Russia flexing military power, Trump’s silence underscores Putin’s upper hand in diplomacy.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump reacted sharply after Russian missile strikes destroyed an American-owned factory in Ukraine, accusing Joe Biden of weakness and incompetence. Trump argued that Ukraine cannot win the war without striking inside Russia, blasting Biden for only allowing Kyiv to “defend” instead of “fight back.” He claimed the invasion would have “zero chance” of happening if he were in office, declaring that Biden’s failed leadership emboldened Moscow. The attack, which hit a U.S. electronics plant in western Ukraine, has intensified tensions and raised fears that Russia is deliberately targeting American investments. Trump’s fiery comments come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that Vladimir Putin does not want peace but seeks to install a Russian-controlled puppet regime. With Washington and Europe scrambling for security guarantees, Trump’s blunt remarks signal deep divisions in U.S. policy as the war enters a new, dangerous phase.

Donald Trump has introduced a new strategy to deter illegal immigration: painting the southern border wall black. Kristi Noem revealed the move, saying the black paint will absorb more heat, making the wall harder to climb while extending its durability. Border officials claim construction is advancing at half a mile per day, with added sensors and cameras. Interim El Paso Sector Chief Walter Slosar said migrant apprehensions have dropped dramatically, highlighting Trump’s tougher enforcement compared to Biden.

Ukraine launched overnight strikes on key Russian oil refineries and military targets in a fierce act of retaliation after a devastating Russian missile barrage on Kyiv killed 14 people, including children. The Ukrainian military confirmed direct hits on the Kuibyshev refinery in Samara Oblast and the Afipsky refinery in Krasnodar Krai, crippling Russia’s vital fuel infrastructure. Explosions lit up the night as Ukrainian forces struck deep into Russian territory, signaling a dangerous escalation in the conflict. The strikes came just hours after Russian missiles reduced Kyiv neighborhoods to rubble, leaving families shattered. Analysts warn the attacks mark a new phase of Ukraine’s war strategy—targeting the heart of Russia’s energy economy to undermine its war machine. With Moscow vowing retaliation and Kyiv showing no signs of backing down, fears are rising that the war is spiraling into an even bloodier chapter.
