Speaking remotely to a Kyiv security conference in mid-September, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan emphasized that President Joe Biden would spend the remainder of his term ensuring that Kyiv was given the best possible opportunity to succeed.

Days later, the U.S. authorized the export of anti-personnel mines to assist the Ukrainian army’s defenses along the 620-mile frontline.
