German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has accused Russia of wanting to "subjugate" Ukraine and says President Vladmir Putin has no desire to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.
Russia is not party to this landmine treaty, and Ukraine having to adhere to this treaty is essentially forcing them to fight against someone who plays dirty while having their arm tied around their back.
Other countries that have announced that they will be withdrawing from the Ottowa Treaty are: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (Coincidentally all bordering Russia or Belarus)
