Details: Russian soldiers have left trip-wires wherever they spent a night or stayed for a longer period of time, particularly in apartments belonging to Ukrainian police and rescue workers, and military personnel. They have left trip-wires at entrances to residential buildings and around their fences. Russian soldiers found out the identities of the inhabitants during their looting of abandoned homes.

Cars have also been rigged with explosives. One man has already died when he opened the boot of his car, which turned out to be booby-trapped.

At present, there is still danger for those who have returned to the areas liberated from the Russian occupying forces.
