The thought of a moral war is amazing. War is the epitome of immorality.

The author neglects to take into account the ingenuity of the Ukrainian people. We have seen modern weapons being handed over to them, only to have suggestions and modifications coming back almost immediately to improve them. Not to disparage the average Ukrainian civilian, either, as we have seen the way they have jury-rigged captured equipment to be implemented in mine clearing when the probability of losing their harvest was looming.

I have absolutely no doubt that Ukrainians will find a way to quickly and efficiently deal with the unexploded ordinance. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was a farmer who found the solution.
