In 2023, more than 200,000 hectares of agricultural land were returned to use after survey and clearance, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said at a government meeting.
He noted that it is planned to put 80% of potentially mined areas into operation in less than 10 years.
"To do this, we will involve innovative developments in demining, create joint production of demining equipment with partners, train specialists, and develop the market for mine action operators," he added.
According to Shmyhal, the state budget for this year has allocated 3bn hryvnyas to compensate farmers and other landowners who will use the services of demining operators.
