It's possible that Ukraine is using Russian mines that they've removed from fields. If so, it'd be the opposite.
Mines are cheap enough. Also, don't they detonate the mines to clean them? Basically all mine clearance videos I've seen in my life detonated the mines.
Could be. I've seen video of someone in Vietnam clearing mines, and they just did it with a knife. Didn't detonate the thing.
I'd assume that anti-tank mines, unless they have anti-handling mechanisms designed to target people disarming them, probably won't go off on a person.
You are right.
