Russian troops ‘booby trapping’ bodies of dead soliders and children’s toys, Ukraine claims

Ukraine defence minister says Russian soldiers are also planting bombs in mass graves and children’s toys

Russian troops have been accused of booby-trapping the dead bodies of soldiers killed fighting in the war in Ukraine.

Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s defence minister, claimed bombs had also been planted in mass graves, children’s toys, backpacks, schools, hospitals and apartments.

He said this was only “a partial list of Russia’s violations” of the United Nation’s rules of engagement in armed conflicts and war.
