On July 18, Ukraine formally informed the United Nations that it has suspended its operation of the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, the landmark international treaty prohibiting antipersonnel landmines. The action puts civilians at risk, undermines fundamental humanitarian and legal norms, and is contrary to public international law.

    The lack of condemnation for this is horrible. People treat everything like a team sport now. I’m against Russia, so any action that theoretically is aimed at harming them is acceptable.

    These are going to kill children for decades.
