Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova commented on the current state of the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel mines and the relevant norms of international law.

Zakharova said that the international community has remained silent in the face of these violations: “Neither Ukraine’s violations nor the withdrawal of some Western states from the convention banning anti-personnel mines received the necessary response from the members.”

Emphasizing that the convention has lost its functionality, Zakharova stated, “The fragility of this treaty regime is evident.”
