Thornhill-based landmine charity The HALO Trust’s clearance operation in Ukraine was visited by British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly on Tuesday.
The government minister was able to see for himself the lifesaving work by trained Ukrainian women and men working for HALO in the village of Hrebelky, near Brovary in Kyiv Oblast.
The trust has operated in Ukraine since 2016 and relocated from its Kramatorsk headquarters in the Donbas in May last year, doubling its workforce from 400 to 800 personnel.
