One of her arguments is that landmines alone don't stop a determined assault, which seems a fundamental misunderstanding of their purpose. The purpose is to make an assault more difficult and take more time and resources, which in combination with other defences can (and have) stop offensives.
It makes me want to scream that the fascist in charge of the USA is actively collaborating with an aggressor which wants to destroy steal land & destroy democracy on our continent.
Mines are horrible things, but if mining the f**k out of Europe’s borders is what it takes to stop Putin, do it.
So what are they supposed to do to deter Putin, plant roses?
Sorry about your nice piece of paper but if you hadn't noticed, the world is having a moment now ...
The cited statistics about civilians being killed by landmines lack a source and are thus merely an unproven allegation. An adversary like russia which has to rely on ground troops for lack of a sophisticated military can be quite effectively stopped by landmines, as we see here every day.

The problem is RUSSIA, not the countries withdrawing from the treaty.
