If it doesn't get blown up, they should give it back to him after the war ends.
I doubt he intended to use it de-mine his fields. Probably was merely holding it for a black market sale.
The accusations here are crazy (and horrible, if true) but not without humour

Well to be fair, I wouldn't mind having one of those in my yard, either.
However, the Ukrainian army needs it more than he does.
He could turn it into a planter for all I care, it couldn't have been easy to get it back to his place. Legitimate salvage!
Silly story from local news (google translate)

A stop of a car Sunday afternoon ended with three narcotics charges and two arrests.
A 27-year-old woman made it easy for the police to do her job when she picked up her 35-year-old friend, who had just been released from the Ringkøbing police station.
On Sunday afternoon, a police patrol stopped a car at Store Kjærgaardsvej near Lem south of Ringkøbing.
Here, the drug test hit the driver of the car, a 35-year-old woman. She was therefore arrested and charged with drug driving.
Her fellow passenger, a 32-year-old man, was also noted for a charge when, according to police assistant Martin Bjerg, he was in possession of an illegal drug.
The charged woman was then given a lift from the patrol to the police station in Ringkøbing, where a blood test was taken to show if the drug meter was speaking the truth.
Also affected
The story might have ended here, but after the blood test, the 35-year-old woman was released and picked up at the police station by a 27-year-old friend who the police officers quickly estimated to be affected.
- She is then also asked to participate in a drug test, says police officer Martin Bjerg.
Here, too, the test was positive, and the 27-year-old woman from Ølgod was therefore also arrested and charged with drug driving.

A woman left a gold "slipper" after the ball at the castle
The prince didn't scour the kingdom for a match. But wrote the owner could come pick it up.

There was an attempt.

The current value of history in society saddens me rather than make me laugh
Welcome to the post-truth era.
Was there ever a truth era?
I think there was a time when people considered the pursuit of it, at least, to be something valuable and worthwhile. The trick was not to eliminate truth as a concept but to convince the world at large that it's not worth the effort, and that universality is a lie.
We are already past the post-truth era, and well into the post-reality era, with AI becoming omnipresent.
We used to see or hear something and assumed it to be real unless something gave us pause.
Soon we'll assume anything to be 'fake' unless we have good reason to trust it.
Imagine a news story about an oil spill on a beach. The media show videos or pictures from the beach. Except It's of course all AI generated. It is that beach and it's how the oil spill will look. Today we'll say it's fake but soon no one will care because it's just as 'real' as all the other edited media we see around us. Soon 90+% of anything on the Internet is AI generated so we reach a point where reality is irrelevant. It's all just a matter of whether it's believable or not. No one can tell the AI from reality anyway (soon). Remember close too all images we look at today are 'fake'/photoshopped/filtered and we all accept it. And everyone looking at the perfect lives of influencers and youtubers etc. believe it/buy into it.
Most importantly actual humans will be less and less involved in generation of news and other 'content'. So lies will not actually exist - just anomalies in the algorithms. Like when AI news create nonsense. No one lied - and no one is responsible:

When we've successfully removed humans from everything - economic transactions, media, news, and anything run by algorithms - no one is responsible for anything and no one lies. A self driving car that kills a child is a tragedy. No one is at fault. The company behind the car will say sorry and that they're working to improve the algorithm. The news outlet posting imaginary stories ('lies') will say the algorithm needs adjusting.
