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

“After Russian Retreat, Ukraine’s Farmers Discover Fields Full of Mines”

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...

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.

[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?

Common practice for retreating forces. There are in excess of 1 millions mines in the DMZ between North and South Korea, war is hell folks.

Craters and unexploded ordnance are a regular part of war. Mines in the farmer’s fields, not so much.

"The Ukrainian government estimates that mines are present in around 30% of farm fields in areas around Kyiv previously occupied by the Russians.

Taras Vysotskyi, Ukraine’s deputy minister of agrarian policy and food, said it was clear that the targeting of agriculture was deliberate because Russian forces placed mines in fields of no military value and continued to do so even as they withdrew. “It was the case of blocking the possibility of making agriculture productive again in Ukraine,” he said.

The two regions where the retreating Russians set mines and destroyed farm equipment and buildings are among the most agriculturally productive in Ukraine, Mr. Vysotskyi added."

MOOOOOOOooooooo, plop, plop, plop.....

The logic of the operation is simple. A real WAR between Russia and Ukraine would last 72 hours or less.

The ONLY reason this operation is lasting any longer than that is that Russians are taking extreme care not to harm civilians or civilian ifrastructure. That should be obvious.

NAZIS, of course, do not have any such scruples. A totally reasonable assumption is that any sort of evidence of wanton killing or destruction (mining farm fields) you may be seeing in news from Ukraine, is the work of the bandera-Nazis and not the work of the Russian military.

This is often seen in soldiers who have given up any pretense of “winning” any longer. Germans blew up bridges, weapons, food supplies, factories and anything else that could possibly be used by the Allies. Japanese from Saipan to Okinawa expended all weaponry before one final bonsai charge with bamboo sticks or by retreating to difficult areas and causing enormous casualties before they all died or committed suicide.
