Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s representative to the UN, has demonstrated Russia’s concerns over banned landmines in Ukraine by bringing one with him to show his counterparts.
During a UN meeting, Nebenzya held up one of the so-called ‘petal mines,’ also known as ‘butterfly mines,’ which have been showing up on the streets of Donetsk.
Petal mines are high-explosive anti-personnel mines, which can be ‘scattered’ and detonated later, and can detonate just by being handled.
