Eine explosive Wahl: Landminen und die Ukraine

“President Biden has authorized the use of anti-personnel landmines in Ukraine. That may be a reasonable decision, given the circumstances.” Mitzi Perdue discusses President Biden’s controversial decision to send anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia. While landmines pose significant humanitarian risks, especially as Ukraine is already heavily mined, anti-landmine campaigner Maj-Gen James Cowan (ret.) argues that the move is justified under international law to support Ukraine’s right to self-defense. The situation highlights the complex moral dilemmas faced by the international community in supporting Ukraine while mitigating long-term dangers from landmines.

just gonna point out that these mines are of the self destruct variety after approx 2 weeks. Some have electronic timers and others are chemical timers. Source: Telegraph blog “Ukraine, the latest”.
