Description

More than ONE million lives have been lost on both sides of the war in Ukraine,  since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

Throughout the conflict, Russia and Ukraine have used anti-personnel mines, a weapon of war that comes with a particularly awful legacy.

Now Ukraine has announced it is to withdraw from the Ottawa Treaty, a 1999 agreement ratified by the UN banning the use of landmines.
