In a Cypriot National Guard camp, Ukrainian armed forces personnel are undergoing specialized training to identify, locate, and safely dispose of landmines and other unexploded munitions that pose a significant threat in their war-torn country. Ukraine has been severely impacted by landmines and discarded explosives due to the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, nearly 400 people have lost their lives, and over 900 have been injured by landmines and other munitions. The economic repercussions are substantial, with billions in losses to the Ukrainian economy and agricultural land left uncultivated due to the presence of explosives.
