This week, the United States allocated $4 m in new support to the British NGO Halo Trust to help Ukraine demine the area.

This was reported by "Voice of America" with reference to the Office of Political and Military Affairs of the United States Department of State.

10 teams will be involved in clearing areas of russian landmines and unexploded bombs.

Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Liz Trass announced a donation of up to 2 million pounds in support of the Halo Trust.

 

The head of the United States Agency for International Development, Samantha Power, said this month that half of Ukraine's territory needs demining. She noted that the State Emergency Service of Ukraine neutralizes 2-6 thousand mines every day.

We will remind, in SES earlier noted that full demining of Ukraine will be required 5-10 years.
