On June 29, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree announcing Ukraine’s withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention, which bans anti-personnel mines. Ukraine, which ratified the Convention in 2005, becomes the sixth state to withdraw or declare its intention to withdraw, following Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
