Zelenskyy withdraws from Ukraine from an anti-territy mine pact
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree to withdraw Ukraine from the Ottawa Convention prohibiting anti -personnel land mines, Ukrainian legislator said on Sunday. This decision follows similar recent stages of the Baltic States and Poland.
The 1997 Treaty prohibits the use, production, storage and transfer of anti -personnel land mines in order to protect civilians from explosives that can mutilate or kill long after the end of the fighting.
“This is a step that the reality of war has long demanded,” said Roman Kostenko, secretary of the Ukrainian parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence. He noted that Russia has not gone to the Convention “and massively use mines against our soldiers and civilians”.
