Demining in Ukraine
Due to Russian aggression in Ukraine and active combat operations, our country is contaminated with explosive devices. Some analysts consider Ukraine to be the most heavily mined country in the world.
In April of last year, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that Ukraine was initiating a new state policy on humanitarian demining and called on other countries to assist in this area.
Moreover, Ukraine will compensate the costs of ordering demining services.
Recently, in the Kharkiv region, during demining operations, specialized equipment exploded. There were no casualties as a result of the incident.
