Common mine-clearing techniques used on the Ukraine-Russia front, when facing anti-personnel mines, is to directly detonate them. In the absence of mine-clearing tools on the front lines, soldiers mostly choose this simple and brutal method. In the video, a Ukrainian soldier directly smashed a mine with a tree stump. Early Wagner mercenaries also used hammers to smash "petal" anti-personnel mines. Don't think these anti-personnel mines look weak, like firecrackers, but if you accidentally step on one, it can take away your leg or foot.
The above method is only applicable to anti-personnel mines. When facing anti-tank mines, frontline soldiers will use bomb-carrying drones to detonate them, or shoot them from a safe distance to trigger the explosion.
