Putin general 'is blown up by a Russian landmine in Ukraine'

[Guno צְבִי]

Major-General Vladimir Zavadsky, 45, was deputy commander of Russia's 14th Army Corps.

He perished 'as a result of a mine explosion in the rear area, and not a military clash with the enemy' on the frontline, reported Telegram channel VChK-OGPU.

The report states that the incident occurred during a 'senseless' redeployment of his group away from the frontline,

The channel alleged the Russian armed forces were making an attempt to cover-up the circumstances of his death and blame it on a Ukrainian artillery strike.

Using Land Mines are essentially a war crime and their use is banned by the Geneva Convention.

The ole sayin' goes- If you play with fire- you can get burned.

Pooty Pie probably skipped that day in class!

Using Land Mines are essentially a war crime and their use is banned by the Geneva Convention.

It is against the Ottawa Treaty, which has been signed and ratified by most countries... But not Russia, US, China, India, and a smattering of other countries with big militaries.

That makes it a borderline warcrime. There is not the level of agreement that an international warcrime tribunal wants to see, but the right national court would be willing to convict.
