the so-called ottawa process has begun, an international initiative to completely ban the production, storage and use of anti-personnel mines. to date, this document has been ratified by more than one hundred and fifty countries, about 100 of which have destroyed their mine stockpiles, and 27 are completely free of mines. this is according to the 2017 report. among the countries that have not signed the ottawa treaty are china, russia and the united states, as well as india, pakistan and many middle eastern countries. ukraine has ratified this ottawa ratified the convention in 2005 and even destroyed mines, but in war, of course, mines were used, this is the simplest and most effective method of defense. in 2024 , even the united states handed over its anti-personnel mines to ukraine. the day before, the ministry of foreign affairs explained why the ottawa document was signed, but the mines exist. the russian federation, not being a state party to the ottawa convention, unleashed armed aggression against ukraine.

2014, anti-personnel mines have been widely used as a method of waging war since 2022, when russia began a full-scale the invasion of the territory of our state, its massive use of such means created an asymmetric advantage for the aggressor. the day before, in order to comply with all formalities, the president of ukraine signed a decree on ukraine’s withdrawal from the tsatav convention. russia was never a party to this convention , and this is extremely cynical. vikorist anti-anti-contagious men, we are careful about this political principle and in this way we give a signal to all our partners on what to focus on in all regions, like on the perimeter of the russian cordons. same anti-tank mines are a tool that very often has no alternative for defense. in early 2025

, estonia, latvia, lithuania, and poland also announced their intention to withdraw from the treaty. they cited the significantly increased threat of russian invasion as the reason for this step. in june 2025 , the finnish parliament also voted to withdraw from the treaty. the country's defense ministry called mines a simple weapon suitable for protecting the russian-finnish border. andrey shurin, present, ukraine. about the danger such mines pose, why countries still withdraw from the convention. i spoke with yulia chikolba this afternoon about their ban, she is an international expert in the field of mine action, she is from ukraine. anti-personnel mines are explosive devices that are designed to be activated by the victim. and this is their main threat: not only a military combatant can suffer, but also civilians, children, adults, agricultural, animals and so on. and anti-personnel

mines aim to kill or injure a person, a person, unfortunately, may not only be a soldier. another aspect of the mine danger is that mines are hidden and camouflaged. and some mines, some types of mines are installed underground. and mines are also installed as a system of mine barriers, that is, what we call, we call minefields, in such in such situations they can. well

, let's continue this topic. raman kostenko is on the air with us, a colonel of the sbu, a deputy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and also secretary of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence. roman, hello. hello. explain why ukraine has now decided to withdraw from this convention? this is a long overdue decision, and i believe that it should have been done a long time ago, well, about the fact that there in general.

a very long time and it was necessary to prove to many, i was not alone in order for such a decision to be made, at first they were afraid to say something to their partners, but after... the baltic countries saw this after poland and finland they saw what kind of threat they had on the border and they themselves began to withdraw from this convention, well, our leadership also began to understand that there was a threat, i will say this, i wrote a lot of letters to the ministry of defense, to the ministry of foreign affairs, ours, i will say that i even had such a thing that several responses per day... it was with the ministry of defense, where in the first they did not agree, when we talked with the ministry of foreign affairs convinced them, they already agreed to what they did not agree, wrote another letter, where they also supported, the withdrawal directly from this convention, i say again that this

convention gives russia more opportunities to conduct military operations, they reduce our opportunities to defend our borders. i mean there will be no threat of russian troops to demining, but i believe that after the war, the entire territory between russia and ukraine will be mined in order to prevent further invasion, and we must move towards this, and we understand this. not only we, but also other european countries, that russia must be contained by all means, which only we have, because when they say, and they, and then it will be necessary to demin, here the situation is that if we do not take all measures to protect our independence

and sovereignty, it may be that there will be nothing to demin, the main thing here now is to save the country, well, of course, we will then move on to issues of how to fight this. states, there is israel, there, other countries that will help us with these effective weapons and i have already said many times that anti-personnel mines are a simple, effective weapon that is used not only for direct destruction of personnel, there is such a thing as

demonstration mining, and i will say that during the second world war, and there are other wars, they used just an ordinary sewer pipe, a cartridge was inserted into it and... when the enemy attacked him, he simply fired, here here it is not even about, let's say, defeating the enemy, about the fact that when the enemy knows, he does not go there and he does not capture these territories, or we understand where he is going, there are a lot of them now, if well when we leave, we can leave, despite what they say, that there is a procedure there, but i would like to say that there is a procedure, and there is also...

what and what and what are all the territories on the approaches to ukrainian positions mined with, not with anti-personnel mines, well, with different ammunition, that is, this question should be asked directly to the military, if you know that something is mined there with anti-personnel mines, now we

we are officially in the convention and now we have the ability to put either anti-tank mines or anti-personnel mines, which are... controlled, in a controlled version, that is, now you can use anti-personnel mines that are controlled directly by a person, that is, you see a person, press a button. like - the trigger of a machine gun and it goes off, it is legal , it can be used, you cannot use something that burrows underground or something like that, in fairness, i will say that i spoke today with one of our military correspondents, one of ours, i mean the present-day corent -time correspondent, he told me that of course they are used, just explaining that on the approaches to positions, but i emphasize that i am certainly not an expert here, i don’t think that here, after all. look, we have official documents that we destroyed everything, that well, anti-personnel mines

are possible, but we may have had captured mines, if if you are talking about this, maybe he means this, then there are soldiers on the battlefield, and ukraine does not officially use them, we simply do not have them in stock, but they can be increased very quickly, it is possible to increase production, i will say again, it is a very simple production, so now to the procedure, today i read an analysis on the publication meduza, they read the convention itself, so it is written there that according to the norms prescribed in article twenty, a state that at the time of withdrawal from the convention is, or is in a state of war, then such withdrawal begins to take effect only after the end of the war, that is as i understand it, if ukraine now declares that it is withdrawing from this convention according to international law, it still cannot produce them.

as for the atav convention itself, but there is a more general and let's say, the main thing is that it is ukrainian in russian, the vienna convention, which is article 62, if i'm not mistaken, you can just check it now, which says that you can withdraw from treaties, and we already used this after the full-scale... invasion, there were some international treaties with the russian federation, we left there

unilaterally, using the vienna convention, which says that a country can leave if suddenly, there is such a formulation, that if circumstances have changed dramatically, and this somehow harms this or that country. roman, thank you very much, roman kostenko, sbu colonel, deputy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, secretary of the parliament of ukraine committee on national security, defense and intelligence. thank you very much. well, while the whole world was discussing the wedding of one of the richest people world american billionaire jeff bezes in russia in chechnya celebrated another high-profile wedding. seventeen-year-old son of the head of the republic ramzan kadyrov , adam, got married in his ancestral village. he was personally congratulated, at least according to kadyrov sr., by putin. kadyrov jr. arrived at the wedding in a limited-edition mercedes, which is prohibited from being imported. russia, on the hand of the newlywed, investigators noticed a diamond watch worth
