Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

The regime has repeatedly carried out artillery and air attacks on city centers, creating a humanitarian catastrophe—which is all but ignored by the US political-media establishment.

Ukrainian armed forces and armed groups continue to lay landmines, including anti-personnel mines, despite Ukraine’s obligations as a State party to the 1997 10
Mine Ban Treaty . Credible estimates indicate that mines contaminate large areas of agricultural land in east Ukraine, often in areas which are poorly marked, near roads and surrounding civilian areas. This has resulted in civilians being killed and maimed, often while walking to their homes and fields. These risks are particularly acute for people living in towns and settlements near the contact line, as well as the 23,000 people who cross the contact line every day.

Ukrainian armed forces and armed groups have appropriated residential property of local residents for military use (See: Housing, land, and property rights). In many cases, this has forced the owners or residents to leave their homes and in some cases, their communities.
