Ukrainas använder PFM-1 i mängder som sk.
cluster munitions exempelvis flera gånger över Donetsk mot civila vilket det finns riklig fotodokumentation av
(och inte bara mot den Ryska arme'n i Izjum) med avsikt att skada-inte döda människor genom att spränga av foten som trampar på den lilla minan.
Citat:
Ukraine is a signatory to the 1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction, and had been destroying its anti-personnel mines when the war began.
Human Rights Watch reported in January that it had found evidence that rocket-scattered PFM-1 mines had been used against Russian forces in Izium; Ukraine's foreign ministry said at the time that the country's forces strictly adhered to the convention and that the report would be "properly analyzed by the relevant institutions". Ukraine's foreign ministry did not respond to a recent request for comment.

Citat:
in 2020 Ukraine refused to destroy any PFM-1 mines. In 2021, Ukraine's PFM-1 stockpile was reported at 3,363,828 mines.
Kan detta möjligen vara bevis på att man hade för avsikt att använda dessa minor framöver?
