Abstract

Finland is considering reintroducing antipersonnel land mines to enhance its defenses against Russia along the NATO defense bloc's longest land border. The government will review the possibility of leaving the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits such mines, following a meeting between President Alexander Stubb and key ministers. The debate on this issue has gained traction in Finland, with a popular motion to withdraw from the convention receiving significant support. [Extracted from the article]
