Ukraine Signals Possible Withdrawal from the Mine Ban Treaty – Norwegian People's Aid Warns of Severe Humanitarian Consequences

"Ukraine is currently one of the most heavily mined countries in the world, and it will take decades to clear the affected areas. Landmines not only cause immediate loss of life and injury, but also prevent reconstruction, food production, and the safe return of displaced families, says Aksel Steen-Nilsen", Head of Humanitarian Mine Action at Norwegian People’s Aid.
