Germany will further help Ukraine in clearing mines in former combat areas.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated this during her visit to Kyiv region, according to Süddeutsche Zeitung.
“What was seen here is more than terrible. It is obvious that not only anti-tank mines, but also anti-personnel mines were deliberately planted here,” Baerbock said.
During her visit to the village of Velyka Dymerka, Kyiv region, the minister was informed that the Russian invaders had deliberately mined toys in private homes.
It is noted that Germany has already allocated EUR 6 million for the demining of civilian facilities in Velyka Dymerka, and another EUR 1 million is planned to be allocated for these purposes by the end of the year.
It is the second of visit of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock to Ukraine since Russia invaded on February 24.
