Landmines, booby traps, and trip wires are a favorite Russian tactic, turning Ukraine's environment against Kyiv's own troops.
  • Russia is setting up elaborate trapped minefields in Ukraine, a Agence France-Presse reported. 
  • The mines are booby-trapped with banknotes or Pepsi cans, per the report.
  • Around 30% of Ukraine has been lain with landmines, says the Ukrainian government. 

Russia is devising new ways of tricking people into setting off the landmines it has hidden across Ukraine, a report said.
