    It’s going to take a lot of brave people and a lot of money to demine Ukraine. Luckily, Ukrainians are very brave and they have some extremely rich friends.

      Is it a war whoopsie to use POW for de-mining? Cause that would be convenient

      Edit: Denmark, UK, Russia, and others did it with German prisoners after WW2. Good to know it’s no longer acceptable

        I am rather certain, that would qualify as a war crime. But I mean, if Russia is that interested in emptying their prisons, you can just make demineing Ukraine a victory demand and have their prison population do it.

          You really haven’t thought this statement through, have you?

          Ukraine doesn’t need more “zek”s on its soil. And it definitely shouldn’t be offered as a tool for Russia’s elites to clear up opposition.
