More details The issue of demining in Ukraine remains critical in 2024, as the country continues to clear explosive remnants of war. Noteworthy progress includes a significant reduction in contaminated areas, thanks to enhanced capabilities and global support. International assistance, like Poland's PLN 2.5 million funding and technology donations such as 230 pickup trucks and 240 mine detectors from Lithuania, plays a vital role in these extensive efforts. The tragic loss of EOD specialist Oleksandr Viter underscores the perilous nature of demining operations. Strategic advances with new demining battalions, vehicles, and technological innovations like the Ukrainian demining machine "Zmii" highlight both achievements and ongoing needs in the sector. Coordination with partners like the Mine Action Coalition fosters a systematic approach towards a safer environment. This collective endeavor not only focuses on immediate clearance but also aims at long-term solutions to restore safety and normalcy in affected regions of Ukraine.
