This kind of mine will probably not kill you but will only take off your leg

Analyst Adam Sybera talks about the dangerous byproduct of the war, namely, that Ukraine is heavily mined as a result of Russian aggression. There are different projects dedicated to enforce security of the civil Ukrainians, especially the kids. One of them is British project in the form of playing cards.

So, another big problem and a byproduct of the war is that Ukraine is heavily mined.

And this is an example of one which is called “lepestok” [petal] or little leaf. And this mine works that you cannot deactivate it. The only way it is going to be deactivated is by the explosion.

This one in particular was shot with the AK-47. So, the inside liquid went out and is no longer possible for it to explode.

This is a big danger for example to kids, and there’s a British project that makes playing cards where the kids can play and learn how those mines look and be extra cautious when they run into such.

This kind of mine will probably not kill you but will only take off your leg which is you know as horrible, or generally you’re alive but it’s still horrible.

A plastic that’s another point.
