东欧国家由于与俄罗斯有关的安全担心而退出禁止地雷条约。 Eastern European nations withdraw from landmine ban treaty due to Russia-related security fears.

包括波兰、芬兰和波罗的海国家在内的若干东欧国家正在退出1997年禁止杀伤人员地雷的《渥太华公约》,并援引俄罗斯军事威胁造成的安全顾虑。 Several Eastern European countries, including Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states, are withdrawing from the 1997 Ottawa Convention that bans anti-personnel landmines, citing security concerns due to Russia's military threats. 尽管条约的目标是保护平民不受地雷危害,但各国声称地雷是防御潜在入侵所必需的。 Despite the treaty's goal to protect civilians from landmine hazards, the countries claim landmines are necessary for defense against potential invasions. 这一举动挑战了条约在全球推动裁军的努力,并可能导致地雷的使用增加。 The move challenges the treaty's global push for disarmament and could lead to a rise in landmine use.
