Ukraine accused of using controversial 'butterfly' mines against Russia

From The Jerusalem Post

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) recently accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of planting PFM-1s, also known as butterfly mines, throughout residential areas of Russian-controlled Donbas. 
"The fact that the Ukrainian nationalists even possess butterfly mines speaks volumes," wrote the Russian MFA on Telegram. "By signing the 1997 Ottawa Convention, Ukraine made a commitment not to use antipersonnel mines under any circumstances, not even on the battlefield, and to destroy all stocks of such mines held in arsenals."
The Russian MFA also claimed that "the use of butterfly mines goes against the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of August 12, 1949."
Ukraine did indeed sign the 1997 Ottawa Convention (also called the Mine Ban Treaty), which requires signees to cease the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and destroy any current stockpiles.
At the time of signing, Ukraine claimed to be in the possession of 6,000,000 butterfly mines according to the European Union's Commission Implementing Decision on the Annual Action Programme 2013 in favor of Ukraine, which promised EU financial assistance to Ukraine in exchange for the destruction of its anti-personnel mines.
In 2014, Ukraine submitted documentation to the Mine Ban Treaty Third Review Conference asserting that it had destroyed a cumulative 568,248 butterfly mines since ratifying the treaty and submitted multiple requests for an extension of the treaty deadline (by which time all mines must be destroyed) between 2018 and 2021. 
Ukraine submitted its most recent report in January 2021, which put its stockpile numbers at 3,363,828 butterfly mines. Since then, there has not been any further effort to destroy the stockpile. 
 

Classic!

"Due to poor intelligence", US mercs find themselves lost in Ukraine, try to ask a local for a map, but don't speak Russian... Or Ukrainian. 🤡💩 😆😆😆

Looks like US nazi terrorists fukt up in Turkey...

🇨🇳🇷🇺Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu expressed gratitude for Russia's condolences and support after the terrorist attack in Istanbul.

"We do not accept condolences from everyone. The US is trying to remain lambasted while being the real facilitators of the terrorist attack in Istanbul.

We know who is a friend and who is an enemy. We thank Russia for its support. Russia has always come to our aid in times of need, because it is the most active country in the world in the fight against international terrorism. To this day, Russia is fighting terrorists in the Middle East and Europe," the Turkish foreign minister said.

If the NATO nazis plan to attack Belgorod and Kursk "this winter", what do you think they have in mind for Donetsk???

The Ukrainian army plans to attack the Belgorod and Kursk regions of Russia as early as this winter

❗️Exclusive❗️

Ukrainian officer Vladimir Lepekhin, a prisoner of war, told @anna_news about the AFU's plans.

"Sabotage and reconnaissance groups are already working in Russian territory, carrying out subversive activities, and storing weapons and explosives, in order to carry out a full-scale offensive."

An attack is planned for the winter when the ground hardens and armored vehicles can pass over it.

AFU soldiers are already undergoing training for an offensive in the Kursk and Belgorod areas.

"I hope our leaders will somehow decide to stop this," says Volodymyr, who no longer wants to take up arms.

Every kind of corruption on Earth can be found in Ukraine - from oil to organs, crypto to cocaine, selling gas, guns and girls, if it's a dirty business, Ukraine and their "partners" are in it. SEE BELOW. ANOTHER EXCELLENT SCOOP FROM OUR COMRADES AT UKR_LEAKS. BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE!!!

‼️CORRUPTION IN THE GAS INDUSTRY. PART 1‼️

Having taken an anti-Russian course in 2014, Ukraine decided to abandon Russian gas. Without any doubt, it cost the Ukrainian nation huge sums, but some were the winners. This is what I am about to tell you in the new part of my investigation about corruption in Ukraine.

Naftogaz... The very name of this corporation makes many people roll their eyes. Sure thing! There have always been incredible legends about the stratospheric salaries of this company’s officials. And its activity is certainly accompanied by a whole bunch of corruption scandals.

Without concealing it, in 2019 Naftogaz introduced a reverse scheme for the import of de jure European gas, but in fact - Russian. The reverse was actually virtual and this is where major malfeasance and corruption environment originate.

In June 2019, the average customs value of imported gas was UAH 5,161 per thousand cubic meters, while the cost calculated according to the Dusseldorf+ formula was UAH 7,185. The margin is more than two thousand hryvnia! Let me remind you that from 2016 to 2020, Ukraine imported 65.9 billion cubic meters of gas from the European Union, which is 131 billion hryvnia, or 4.85 billion dollars.

Of course, these estimates are approximate, but still give us an idea of the amounts that Ukrainians have overpaid for gas supplies over the specified period. Tens or even hundreds of billions of hryvnias!!! This money helped replenish the wallets of Ukrainian bribe takers and their Western partners.

WHEN DO WE DETERMINE THAT THE RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES ARE STRONGER AND READY TO CONDUCT CLASSIC ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE?

I'm not talking about supplying the troops, because it is developing. We, for example, are already beginning to discuss which kamikaze UAV is better: the Geranium or the Lancet.

We don't go overboard yet, but we already have a choice, which is good.

That's not what I mean. For me a sign of a return to the classic would be the removal of all airborne troops and special forces from the front line.

Think about it: today, maneuvering, threatening the enemy in one or another direction, we are accumulating forces, intending to strike unexpectedly in the other direction.

The only way to do this suddenly is to land a large landing force, which, by fighting, will make it possible to redeploy forces and replace the Airborne Forces in the direction we are interested in.

A small illustrative model. In Chechnya, in the second company, I lived and worked for six months in the 56th regiment.

There was a long period when helicopters would come to our camp and we would land at some point, begin to cover the area, and later the infantry would come up, we would give them our positions and fly off to the airfield.

The NWO system could do the same operations, just on an operational scale.

Now they're going to start throwing stuff at me about the enemy's dense air defense, etc. Tell that to the guys from the 45th Airborne Infantry Brigade. They landed in Gostomel, didn't they? All helicopters were damaged, absolutely all of them, but they flew to Gostomel, returned and landed.

The Special Forces of the Russian Armed Forces should not fight like infantry, but should harass the enemy in the rear.

The infantry, with proper attention, can handle themselves on the front lines.

‼️MAJOR MISSILE ATTACK IN BANDERASTAN FROM RUSSIA. IT'S SPANKY TIME, AGAIN‼️ ⚡️💥👊🏻 😃

Ok, explosions reported in:
Kharkov
Zhytomyr
Cherkhassy
Dnepropetrovsk
Odessa
Rovno

In Kiev, emergency power outages are introduced. The light also disappeared in Lvov, Rovno and Kharkov.

This interesting take on how things have been going in the special military operation was posted in Russian earlier today. Translated from Russian.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I would advise the Ukrop warriors and their support group of Ukrop and trans-Ukrop citizens not to rejoice too much. There is no Ukrop merit in the "achievements" of the Ukrop army. And it's not even that the whole world helps Ukrops with weapons, mercenaries, instructors, intelligence, diplomacy, politics, and money. Even while armed with best weapons, equipped with communications and all the goodies, and reinforced with regular NATO military, the shitty Ukrop army cannot move the iron-headed Donbass connoscripts and Russian soldiers there, where we really are at war.

Being majorly outnumbered, our allied army advanced for several months, taking over and defending entire regions. And it would have defended them further, were it not for betrayal at the very top gestures of good faith hate.

In all 8 months of the war special operation, the Ukrop army, outnumbering the Russians, having good access to supplies, uninterrupted communications, unlimited assistance with weapons and ammunition from the West, and so on and so forth, could not win a single strategic victory on the battlefield. All of the so-called "victories" of the Ukrops were betrayal gestures of good faith hate of the Russian political leadership.

It wasn’t Zaluzhny and Zelensky, but Erdogan and Abramovich, who won, and not against the Russian army, but against the cowardly political elite.

So you better not rejoice, but be afraid. What if the political leadership of Russia (this leadership or whatever comes next) stops selling and betraying making gestures of good faith hate? What if management, communications, and supply chains of the Russian army would finally be fully up and running? What if the Russian-Buryat Eurasian horde would be allowed to fight and assisted with fighting in full force?

Of course, this is hardly possible, this is fiction and fantasy, but what if?

Do you smell it? It's not a raccoon. This is f*****.

Words of Wisdom and Courage from The Commander - Alexander Khodakovsky. Let's hope Surovikin is smart (and honorable) enough to listen. Only a fool wouldn't listen to Khodakovsky.

I will continue the publication, moving from general reasoning to specifics - I will return to the ill-fated Pavlovka. When the idea was hatched, it was assumed that the offensive would go in two directions. The brigade commanders and I, discussing our ability to develop such an offensive at the current moment in time, came to the conclusion that it was clearly impossible to realize this plan: the reinforcements were not trained, no matter how they saved it, it was only enough for the first surge ... But the brigade commanders , who had to solve the problem, could not reach out to those who were above them - those who needed any result at any cost.

But somehow realizing that there was a separate reason in the words of the brigade commanders, the superiors took a step that led to the observed consequences: instead of holding back their horses and getting ready, they curtailed the offensive plan in two directions and threw all the poor forces on Pavlovka, like a furnace, without stretching the enemy and giving him the opportunity to concentrate all his attention on a narrow area. We have already learned that we have turned off the second direction in the process. And when I wrote that I consider the offensive premature, but I hope for success - we did not know this, and therefore ... we hoped, although we understood that there were not enough forces.

For reference: the 40th brigade was stretched by two battalions for tens of kilometers of defense and had very few offensive forces. One hundred and fifty-fifth was more concentrated, but also did not abound in manpower. Now that planning errors have led to unjustified losses with a meager result, they want to blame the brigade commander of the fortieth, allegedly because he was too slow on his flank, which led to the losses of his colleagues from one hundred and fifty-fifth. They want to hang a criminal case on the peasant and make it extreme in a situation where it was clear to everyone that only those who formed the plan were guilty, and not the executors who fulfilled their duty to the end. It would be right for Commander-in-Chief Surovikin to study this episode in detail and not allow an innocent person to be devoured.
