Eastern European nations withdraw from landmine ban treaty due to Russia-related security fears.
Several Eastern European countries, including Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states, are withdrawing from the 1997 Ottawa Convention that bans anti-personnel landmines, citing security concerns due to Russia's military threats.
Despite the treaty's goal to protect civilians from landmine hazards, the countries claim landmines are necessary for defense against potential invasions.
The move challenges the treaty's global push for disarmament and could lead to a rise in landmine use.
