The issue of contamination of Ukrainian territories with explosive remnants of war as a result of Russia’s war against Ukraine is one of the global problems, the consequences of which reach far beyond the borders of our country. In October of last year, we published an author’s article on the scale of mined areas, in which we presented a preliminary vision of ways to solve this problem in the short and long term. The complexity of this existential war unleashed by Russia is, among other things, that the enemy violates all possible principles and values of international law, including the laws and customs of warfare. The troops of the Russian Federation, contrary to international conventions on the prohibition of the use of mines, will continue to actively use weapons of indiscriminate action. The density of mining of Ukrainian lands is unprecedented on the European continent. Like any global issue, humanitarian demining of Ukraine requires coordination and coherence of actions not only by state authorities, but also by the international community, civil society, local governments, the private sector, and the educational environment. For this purpose, the Ministry for Development of Economy and Trade of Ukraine, in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, other central bodies of executive power, as well as together with international partners and private operators of mine action, developed the National Mine Action Strategy for the period until 2033. In addition, these structures developed an operational plan of measures for its implementation in 2024-2026 (hereinafter referred to as the Strategy). The specified documents were approved by the National Mine Action Authority and were also approved and certified by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on June 28, 2024.
