I'd lean more towards the Ukrainians. Visible anti tank mines are perfect setups for ambushes. Tanks and heavy vehicles would be forced to stop. Any EOD tech would be vulnerable to a sniper. Blowing them up in place would damage the road. Either way, it stops armor from moving, which opens them up to attack.
