On the other, videos like these are good pr for Ukraine, and sometimes it can be hard to tell if the action is linked to the purported combat success. Bottom line - only those soldiers know, and may they keep fighting on.

Russia is wasting its men, Ukraine doesn't. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago I don't think it matters, these are probably reclaimed mines from Russian fortifications, better be safe than sorry. I was just curious. permalink fedilink source parent [–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago It’s possible, but also they could be hunkered down in their holes. Until you clear the trench it’s hard to say. permalink fedilink source parent
