KYIV, Ukraine, June 29, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - 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.
