The Thornhill-based charity behind a highly dangerous project to rid war-torn Ukraine of landmines has been singled out for praise and support by the UK government.
Melinda Simmons, the UK’s Ambassador to Ukraine, saw for herself on Tuesday how a brave team from The HALO Trust is ridding areas around the Ukraine capital, Kyiv, of deadly explosive devices.
The UK Government has provided £2 million to support the charity’s work and the visit marked the six-month anniversary of the start of the invasion.
