According to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, four Ukrainians who were injured in explosive devices found employment at The HALO Trust. They use satellite and drone data to locate mined zones.
Oleh Shuvarsky is the head of the Mine Action Department at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. He says that the Ministry of Defense will be expanding employment opportunities for veterans, people with disabilities and those who have been injured by explosive devices.
Demining efforts are becoming more critical in Ukraine as the war against Russia continues to create hazardous conditions across the country. After extensive military operations and drone attacks, large areas are still contaminated with landmines and unexploded ordnance, posing serious risks to civilians. This hinders reconstruction efforts and poses significant risks. By the end of 2024, Ukraine had mobilized a number of organizations, including government bodies and international partners to address demining.
He said that specialized programs would be developed, and comfortable conditions would be provided to all categories of workers.
The HALO Trust, an international organization, has employed four Ukrainians who were injured by explosive devices. The Defense Ministry stated that they use satellite images and data from unmanned aerial vehicles to identify mined zones.
Ukrainians will use artificial intelligence to demine Ukrainian territory. According to UNIAN the Ministry of Economy reached an agreement with Palantir and with its experts and technology, Ukraine hopes digitize and automate demining operations.
In the spring of this year, Ukraine announced that it would involve more women in the mine action process, which would increase the speed and efficiency.
