Russia’s Embassy in Australia seeks to blame Kyiv for using landmines in Ukraine by linking to a Human Rights Watch report that described Russia and Ukraine’s alleged use of banned explosive devices.
“On 12 April, ABC News fed its audience with another propaganda story borrowed from BBC.”On April 13, Russia’s Embassy in Australia called an Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV report on the use of landmines in Ukraine “disinformation.”
“Quite expectedly, ABC News chose to parrot Ukrainian claims that the mines were laid by the Russian forces without mentioning the readily available evidence that the prohibited deadly devices are, in fact, of Ukrainian origin,” the Russian embassy post read. The BBC reported that Russia had “seized swathes of territory in the Kharkiv region,” only to be “blindsided by a Ukrainian counteroffensive” in May 2022.
“In a January report, the rights monitor also called on Kyiv to investigate the Ukrainian military's apparent use of thousands of banned petal mines in Izyum."The Human Rights Watch Report cited by Russia’s Embassy in Australia also said Russian forces “have used antipersonnel mines in multiple areas across Ukraine,” including “victim-activated booby traps.”it had “previously published three reports documenting Russian forces’ use of antipersonnel landmines in Ukraine in 2022.
