As the Ukraine war enters its 36th day, Russian troops resume shelling on the outskirts of Kyiv. Ukrainians are being forced to flee their homes following the bombing. Residents have been evacuated from Irpin following another shelling. This is a video of a Ukrainian driver driving his vehicle through a minefield scattered by Russian soldiers on Ukrainian roads. It is clear from the video that the driver was driving very carefully. He carefully overrides each of the landmines. Each of the landmines was about a foot away from death.
The video was shot in Borodyanka, a town in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev Oblast. The landmines were lined up in four rows along the long drive to the city. If the vehicle was driven straight on the road, the tire of the vehicle would have been hit by any landmine and it was more likely to explode. However, the driver of the vehicle was extremely carefulThe driver, who was driving almost off the road parallel to the s, successfully overcame the landmines. The driver can be seen holding his breath as he passes through each row of landmines.
On one side of the two-lane road you can see a line of cars waiting to cross the landmines. Drivers are waiting their turn to cross this very impatient place. Even the slightest mistake of the driver can lead to a big accident. So every car is overtaking landmines with extreme care. Not only the driver but also the viewer will be amazed.
But drivers are proving that fear is unfounded. Vehicles pass through four rows of land mines without a scratch.
Landmines have been planted on the road to prevent speeding vehicles from getting on and off. It is not known when the mines were established here.
The road is lined with circular, large-sized land mines. The video came after a human rights group reported that Russian forces had used banned personal mines to invade Ukraine. The human rights group has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of deploying “medallion” mines. Dozens of armored vehicles open fire on Kharkiv nine miles away, according to some online footage.
The use of landmines is banned under the 1997 International Mine Ban Treaty. Russia is not one of the 164 signatories to the treaty, but Ukraine has ratified the treaty. They respond in the same way to all replacement vehicles. ‘ Says Stephen Goose, director of weapons at Human Rights Watch Group. Russia is deliberately violating international standards against the use of such deadly weapons. The process of demining a country to make land safe for human use after a conflict is a long and arduous process.
The lost landmines have been hidden in the soil for years. They are only activated when a vehicle or other object passes over it. Landmines leave the possibility of an accident at any time years later.
