Demining of territories

  • nearly 6,500 km² of land have already been surveyed,
  • 9,691 km of roads, 10,164 km of power lines, and 3,748 km of railways have been inspected.

  • A total of 37,000 km² of de-occupied territory has been declared safe for use after non-technical survey.

Accelerating the pace of demining

Thanks to systematic and coordinated efforts, the pace of demining is increasing. In 2024, 38 km² were cleared, while this year nearly 150 km² have already been demined.

"We thank everyone whose painstaking daily work is restoring normal life to Ukrainian land," the Main Department of Mine Action emphasized.
