Keeping track of the mines location is just an invitation for your opponent to gain a map of all of your troops movements
It would be a humanitarian thing to do after a conflict is over. "We're leaving but here is where the mines are."
If Russia upholds their signing of the Geneva convention they're actually responsible for removing all of their mines after the conflict is over.
But we all know they'll say the mines are either Ukraine's or Wagner's and not remove them.
You're right, but there's nothing humanitarian about a military conflict.
