Poland withdraws from the anti-personnel mine ban convention<\/h2>\n

Poland has decided to withdraw from the international convention banning the use of anti-personnel mines. This is reported by \u00abPolish Radio<\/strong><\/em>\u00bb.<\/p>\n

The Polish authorities note that the main purpose of this step is to Strengthening the country's defence capability<\/strong> amid growing security risks in the region.<\/p>\n

\n

Arguments of the Polish side<\/h3>\n

The head of the parliamentary commission on national defence stressed that the experience of Russia's war against Ukraine demonstrated the effectiveness of minefields in deterring an offensive.<\/p>\n

According to her, at the beginning of the invasion, Ukrainian forces used millions of anti-personnel mines in the border areas, which significantly slowed down the advance of Russian troops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She also noted that in the event of a potential conflict, such mines could still appear on Polish territory, so the country should be prepared for such a scenario.<\/p>\n

\n

Regional context<\/h3>\n

Poland is not the only country in the region that is reconsidering its participation in the Ottawa Convention.<\/p>\n

Earlier, it was finally left by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania<\/strong>, and at the beginning of 2026 Finland<\/strong>. This indicates a general tendency to reassess defence policy on Europe's eastern flank.<\/p>\n

\n

Possible consequences<\/h3>\n

Experts believe that withdrawal from the convention may trigger discussions in the international environment about the balance between humanitarian norms and national security needs.<\/p>\n

At the same time, for the countries directly bordering Russia, the issue of Deterring potential aggression<\/strong> is becoming a key element of defence strategy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
