Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky signed Sunday a decree putting his war-torn country on track to leave the anti-landmine Ottawa Convention, according to a document published on his website.
"I hereby decree... to put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine dated June 29, 2025 on Ukraine's withdrawal" from the landmark convention, Zelensky said.
To enter into force, the decision to quit the convention still must be ratified by the Ukrainian parliament and notified to the United Nations
