I dont know, but mines are generally a really shitty technology. In other regions of the world there are still people dying to this day, because of uncleared mines. This will also kill a lot of refugees who try to come into the EU.
You do know, that Poland has been recorded to perform pushbacks on its borders? And now you can guess why people dont want to enter the country through official ways. Also a lot of refugees dont want to seek asylum in Poland, but in other EU countries so entering through official ways might be suboptimal for them.
Also simply saying “Just enter the country through official ways” disregards the situation those refugees are often I to where they have to fear to get pushed back to Die in the wild. No matter what you will do people will always use unofficial ways.
The problem isn’t the known minefields. Those are fine, you can put a big fucking fence around it and place a sign.
The danger is all the non-marked minefields. All the random mines placed by small units for tactical reasons, all the stuff that wasn’t recorded anywhere. The fields Ukraine place in Ukraine aren’t the problem, they know where those are. The ones Russia places are a problem, because (judging by the fact that russians still occasionally run into their own mines) they don’t even know where they are.
The Problem with known minefields is,that if enough time passes, without the fields getting cleared, people might forget about it and then you have one hell of a problem.
Secondly: Russia is failing to invade Ukraine for 3 years. Do you really think that we are anywhere close to having a war between Russia and NATO? I think its kinda sad seeing all this fearmongering that Russia is about to attack us tomorrow while they still fail to invade Ukraine.
And if Trump forces a “peace” deal? Allows Russia to upgrade, rearm and recruit? Which is very much in the cards, atm. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have.
This is vastly preferable to other measures, because a good fences lines of defense make for good neighbors. Letting the Russians know there’s mines there, that Poland is totally fine with killing one million russians stepping across the border, sends one hell of a message.

Real refugees who try to come into the EU are welcomed to enter through designated border crossings.

Careful with your logic!

What do you suggest instead?
First of all: Literally everything else.

A good thing you’re not in charge of military planning.
