“The peculiarity of these ammunition is that they cannot be neutralized without an explosion… Ukraine, according to the aforementioned convention, until 2011, under international control, destroyed these mines. And Russia, on the contrary, refused to sign and ratify the Ottawa Convention. These mines are still in service with the RF Armed Forces, “the group said.
