Over a month, the pyrotechnics of the SESU destroyed over 30 thousand explosive objects

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the pyrotechnics of the State Emergency Service have already destroyed 302,802 explosive objects.

State Emergency Service reported this on December 11, 2022.

It was noted that specialists of the State Emergency Service also managed to neutralize 2,891 kg of an explosive substance.

It was reported that since February 24, 2155 aircraft bombs were neutralized. In total, over 76 thousand hectares of territory were examined.

On November 7, the State Emergency Service reported the neutralization of 271,447 dangerous objects.

Demining remains one of the priority tasks for Ukraine. The Ukrainian demining experts are trained within the framework of the announced exercises by the UK, Canada, and the EU.

Yesterday, it was reported that the United States generally expects to form and finance the work of 100 mine clearance teams in Ukraine by the spring of 2023.

Also, the US State Department this year will allocate USD 91.5 million to finance mine clearance work.

At the same time, the EU will increase its assistance to Ukraine for mine clearance by EUR 1 million. This was announced by Josep Borrell, EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, during a press conference in Lodz in early December.

Also, Canada will allocate assistance for equipping specialists, namely $11 million for special suits and equipment for detecting explosive objects.

Also, Ukraine receives demining assistance from non-governmental organizations.

For example, in the Rivne region in early December, a meeting was held between rescuers and the founder of the TIP OF THE SPEAR Landmine Removal charity fund.

The foundation is led by mine clearance specialist Ryan Hendrickson. He handed over special equipment for demining to Ukrainian specialists.

In particular, those included robots for remote neutralization of explosive objects.
