More details The disruption in mine supplies in Ukraine has raised significant concerns. The Ministry of Defence's plan to purchase from unreliable manufacturers and the delivery of defective mines have aggravated the risk on the battlefield. Over 23% of Ukrainian territory is potentially mined, intensifying the threat. Reports highlight Russian forces encountering mines, resulting in dramatic incidents, often caught on Ukrainian drones. Furthermore, controversy surrounds the supply chain, with anti-corruption calls for investigation into contract failures. Civilians, particularly children, remain vulnerable to explosive remnants, and a reform in ammunition quality control is critical for safety and operational effectiveness.
