Just one example of Putin's scorched earth war agenda.

[BiglyCommentary]

Putin’s way of liberating the Russian Ukrainians. What an scumbag.

Fake US elections have consequences. Sorry, but this should never have happened…

If only Ukraine had surrendered and turned over the Sudetenland ... eh, uh Donbas like they were supposed to.

The stupid Russians planted mines hoping they’d grow into tanks.

Evgeniy Kharlan, who farms asparagus and blueberries, asked the military to clear unexploded munitions on his land close to the front line in eastern Ukraine and was told that clearing cities and towns was a higher priority.

So those would be Ukrainian mines...

or mines left by the retreating Russians

[House Atreides]

Jeez… it’s very fortunate that the Ukrainians aren’t deploying their mines and artillery, including the hundreds of thousands of new shells pouring into Ukraine given to the Ukrainian government.

“So those would be Ukrainian mines...”

The Ukrainians do not produce PFM-1 mines which are the worst of the mines that need to be cleared. They are exclusively made by Russia and typically deployed as a cluster munition. Most countries have banned them as they tend to look like toys and children commonly pick them up.

You may not have noticed, but the Russians aren't retreating in Eastern Ukraine.

[An aside]

"...developing countries that had been dependent on imports from the region....

The "Developing countries" have been developing since I was in kindergarten.

Isn't it time for the U.N. and the 'donor' nations to projectize the global nation state welfare/assistance process and put a delivery date on which each developing country will be considered developed and the handouts stopped?

Did you test this article with a BS meter before posting?

[Tallguy]

Landmines? I bet Princess Di is rolling in her grave.

[Wuli]

I test comments like yours with the B.S. meter, which fails such comments

“You may not have noticed, but the Russians aren’t retreating in Eastern Ukraine.”

You may not have noticed the war theater is a patch quilt in Eastern Ukraine and some areas once occupied by Russian troops are not occupied by them now.
