Exploding one's own mines has become an epidemic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, - Ukrainian fighter
In the places of deployment of Ukrainian units in the ATO zone, such confusion reigns that Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers constantly become victims of their own mines, recently demobilized volunteer of the Aidar battalion Ivan Makar, people’s deputy of the first convocation of the Verkhovna Rada, said at a press conference in Kiev.

“Some set up tripwires, while others blew themselves up on them - such cases happened more than once,” Makar said. – This means that one unit set up trip wires, and the other walked nearby, because there are no clear areas of responsibility. And therefore the sacrifices are in vain. I was on the bridge in Shchastya, which leads to Lugansk. There was the 92nd brigade, and the “Golden Gate”, and “Aidar”, and the police, and nearby there was another “eighty” from Lvov. How can there be order there? To put troops in such a jumble, one must either be complete idiots, which I doubt, or enemies of the state.”
