The Ukrainian government should act on its expressed commitment not to use banned antipersonnel landmines, investigate its military’s use of these weapons, and hold those responsible to account, Human Rights Watch said today. The government statement, at a June 21, 2023 meeting of the Mine Ban Treaty in Geneva, came nearly five months after Ukrainian officials said they would examine reports by Human Rights Watch and other groups that Ukraine’s forces used these weapons in operations to retake territory occupied by Russian forces
“The Ukrainian government’s pledge to investigate its military’s apparent use of banned antipersonnel mines is an important recognition of its duty to protect civilians,” said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. “A prompt, transparent, and thorough inquiry could have far-reaching benefits for Ukrainians both now and for future generations.”
Since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, RUSSIAN FORCES HAVE USED AT LEAST 13 TYPES of antipersonnel mines in multiple areas across Ukraine, killing and injuring civilians. Human Rights Watch has published four reports documenting Russian forces’ use of antipersonnel landmines in Ukraine since 2022. Russia, which has not joined the Mine Ban Treaty, violates international humanitarian law when using antipersonnel mines because they are inherently indiscriminate weapons.

@Alexey_Nikolaevich It's not my words, It's from Human Rights Watch. Here are some more:
Russian forces have used antipersonnel mines in multiple areas across Ukraine, including victim-activated booby traps, since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Human Rights Watch previously published three reports documenting Russian forces’ use of antipersonnel landmines in Ukraine in 2022.
The Russian military seized Izium and the surrounding areas by April 1 and exercised full control there until early September when Ukrainian forces began a counteroffensive. During their occupation, Russian forces arbitrarily detained, interrogated and tortured residents, and in some cases forcibly disappeared and killed civilians.
Human Rights Watch conducted research in the Izium district from September 19 to October 9, interviewing over 100 people, including witnesses to landmine use, victims of landmines, first responders, doctors, and Ukrainian deminers. Everyone interviewed said they had seen mines on the ground, knew someone who was injured by one, or had been warned about their presence during Russia’s occupation of Izium.
Human Rights Watch documented PFM mine use in nine different areas in and around Izium city and verified 11 civilian casualties from these mines.
Healthcare workers said that they treated nearly 50 civilians, including at least five children, who were apparently injured from antipersonnel mines in the area during or after the Russian military occupation. About half of the injuries involved traumatic amputations of the foot or lower leg, injuries consistent with PFM blast mines.

@Alexey_Nikolaevich Возможная причастность белорусских спецслужб
4 января 2021 года EU Observer сообщил, что в связи с убийством Шеремета были обнаружены новые доказательства, в том числе документы и аудиозаписи. Аудиофайл, предположительно являющийся записью прослушиваемой встречи в 2012 году, показывает, как Вадим Зайцев, в то время председатель КГБ, обсуждает заговор с двумя офицерами из группы КГБ «Альфа», элитного подразделения по борьбе с терроризмом. В переводе с русского один из голосов на записи говорит: «Мы должны работать с Шереметом, который является огромной занозой в заднице [неразборчиво]. Мы заложим [бомбу] и так далее, и эта гребаная крыса будет разобран на хрен куски, ноги в одну сторону, руки в другую. Если все [похоже] на естественные причины, то в сознание людей так же не влезет». также обсуждают отравление Шеремета.
У меня нет самостоятельной учебы. Я полагаюсь в основном на международные отчеты. Вы можете прочитать 51-страничный отчет УВКПЧ о проблемах, с которыми вы столкнулись. Большинство из них упоминаются в этом отчете. (и заметьте, в России эти расследования никогда бы не прозвучали вслух)
Большинство этих инцидентов вызвано вторжением агрессора в соседнюю страну. А уследить за всем в военное время сложно.
Результаты всех этих расследований, которые вы упускаете, наверное, будут видны, когда оккупанты уберутся из Украины.
