More details The prevalence of mines in Ukraine is a pressing issue affecting people and the environment. From the Kherson region to the shores of the Black Sea, mines pose a persistent threat to civilian safety and development. Recent reports highlight extensive use of anti-personnel mines and booby traps by occupying forces, worsening the security crisis. Efforts to clear these mines are underway, with international support including demining vehicles from Japan and initiatives with neighboring countries like Romania and Bulgaria. While President Biden has approved the transfer of mines to aid Kyiv’s defensive strategy, the risks and challenges remain significant, necessitating continuous international cooperation and robust demining efforts.
