Ukraine has signed an EUR 1.5 million agreement with Italy and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to bolster humanitarian demining efforts.
That is according to the Economy Ministry of Ukraine, as reported by Ukrinform.
“This agreement is vital to implementing the National Mine Action Strategy. It will enable projects that clear agricultural land, rebuild infrastructure, restore economic activity in de-occupied territories, and support the return of displaced citizens,” said First Vice Prime Minister and Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
She emphasized that the funding reflects the strength of international partnership—essential for Ukraine’s long-term resilience.
An estimated 138,500 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory may be contaminated with explosive remnants of war, posing ongoing risks to civilians and hampering economic recovery.
