The full-scale war has made Ukraine the most mine-contaminated country in the world. According to data from the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, as of the end of 2024, Ukraine had 138,500 square meters of territory potentially contaminated with explosive hazards. This not only threatens people’s lives but also hinders the development of agriculture, industry, and infrastructure.
Ukraine is now creating a humanitarian demining market that is unparalleled worldwide. In one year, the hazardous territory has been reduced to 138,500 square kilometers.
In a series of articles created in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine, LIGA.net explores how humanitarian demining works, how it differs from military demining, and who is helping Ukraine in this challenging task.
In the first article, we discuss how Ukraine launched its new humanitarian demining market, how the compensation mechanism for farmers works, and how international partners are assisting Ukraine in this area.
The second article focuses on the technological innovations used for demining Ukrainian lands. It highlights sensor drones, artificial intelligence, and other advanced technologies that accelerate and enhance the efficiency of demining operations.
In the third article, we explain the equipment used for demining Ukrainian lands, what makes it unique, and who manufactures it.
