I say Putin himself needs to be responsible for removing ALL mines in Ukraine. And no, he doesn't get to use any of the fancy drones to do the job.

Of course I realize it's ridiculous to think any leader would ever be held accountable for the pain and suffering they cause, but it's still a nice thought...

Yeah, I wish :/ Unfortunately, our international institutions (and even some world leaders) are still refusing to hold Russia accountable for mining and destroying the Kakhovka dam. Russian mining in Ukraine is extremely bad; I honestly fear it's going to be as bad as what the Khmer Rouge did to Cambodia.

Something neat that I've been reading about, though, is that Cambodians are helping Ukrainians with the de-mining by training more mine-sniffing rats. It's been pretty successful in Cambodia because the rats are small enough that they can detect the mines without setting them off.
