The head of the regional military administration of Kiev, General Oleksandr Pavliuk, said today that there are more than 22,000 land mines abandoned by Russian troops in the entire region near the Ukrainian capital.
“Life is slowly returning to normal, but now the most serious problem is mines. In the Kyiv region there are still more than 22,000 explosives left by the Russians. Unidas visits the cities of António Guterres, Borodyanka, Bucha and Irpin.
When three places, which had been in the hands of Russian soldiers for about a month, were recaptured by the Ukrainians, horrifying images emerged to the world with civilian corpses thrown into the streets, buried in mass graves and traces of torture. . The sites are targeted by international investigations for possible war crimes.
According to Pavliuk, however, the dire situation in the Kyiv region is not as bad as in the Donbass region, where most of Donetsk and Lugansk are controlled by pro-Russian militias. The location is currently the main focus of Moscow’s attacks.
“What Secretary General Guterres sees here cannot be compared to what happened in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. The Russians say they want to save the country, but instead they are destroying everything,” he told reporters.
The war in Ukraine was started by the Russians on February 24 and there is no diplomatic solution on the horizon, at least for now.
