BTW these landmines are anti-personnel, not anti-tank. They're "delivered" by artillery and then fly randomly covering a large area.
And kids wouldn't really know that this forest or that field is documented somewhere as dangerous.

How could it be "justified" if it's a banned weaponry (becsuse they indiscriminately hit combatants and non-combatants). Especially considering that Ukraine signed the agreement in 1997 and people suffering are their own citizens.
As per article - it already resulted in 11 civilian deaths, and 50 life-changing injuries.

I get the "everything goes" mentality. But it's jarring to see that in reddit it equates with "they can do no wrong".
And how because of that (paraphrasing here) "war crimes are not that bad and if you think about it - even good"
