From previous articles about this, they won't be deployed now. They will be deployed if needed.

If you placed those mines just in case, would wildlife not trigger one from time to time? How long until they would be mostly gone? And how long do they survive in the wild until they become unreliable or dangerous to handle? How hard would it be to replace or remove them if no longer needed?

They have a lot of border with the newly energised Russia.
jayzalowitz•54m ago
energized, interesting choice of words considering their recent power plant losses. Was this a pun?
knowhy•46m ago
Does "energized" imply increased threat of attack? From the country which failed to successfully invade Ukraine ... I don't get the logic behind that thinking.
AlecSchueler•43m ago
Ukraine could well have been a different story without US support, and US support is no longer a given.
tim333•37m ago
I hope you are right that there's no problem but Trump seems to be doing his best to help Russia win.
knowhy•22m ago
I assume that Russia invaded Ukraine with the intent to win the war within weeks or maybe a few months. It is a disaster for Russia. Even a full victory now would not be a outcome where one could expect that Russia would want to start direct war with NATO because they licked blood.
SanjayMehta•18m ago
Trump is motivated by money, he's seen there's nothing left in The Ukraine for him.
wongarsu•29m ago
Ukraine depends on weapons and ammunition shipments from the EU and US. Continued US support continues to be uncertain. The EU is set on continued support of Ukraine, but an attack on Finland or the Baltic countries might be a way to force EU countries to reroute many of these shipments to defending that new flank

The other angle is that Putin is in a precarious situation if he can't win in Ukraine. Too much has been invested, to many sacrifices made. And a lot of his political power depends on him looking strong. He could be looking for some way to find a quick victory somewhere else

I don't believe either of these are likely scenarios. But Putin is increasingly backed into the corner and has already proven that he will take risky bets on starting new wars. Every country bordering Russia is well-advised to make themselves look like a well-defended place where the Russian military would only be bogged down in another quagmire

Are they also going to revive their concentration camps?

Welcome to the funny realm of European propaganda where Russia is simultaneously the biggest imaginable military threat possible to the world while also being a joke.
freetonik•14m ago
A drunk violent guy with a shotgun is a joke but a threat nonetheless. Don't see a paradox here.

> From the country which failed to successfully invade Ukraine

True, but that doesn't make the war itself any less significant.

Waterluvian•24m ago
The Americans are abandoning their post in the world, so the world is adjusting to get on without them. I think it’s probably a good thing long term that Europe grows to protect itself from Russian aggression without having to rely on the unreliable.
SanjayMehta•19m ago
But EU/NATO leaders think that after The Ukraine, Paris is next.
ohihcocyc•11m ago
There is no “The” in Ukraine.
SanjayMehta•3m ago
Disagree.

It may be politically incorrect to call "The Borderlands" "The Ukraine," but it's grammatically correct.
