US Secretary of State in Ukraine
We were honoured to welcome Antony Blinken to our programme in Ukraine. The US Secretary of State visited one of our clearance teams in Yahidne, Chernihiv province. For over a year, our deminers have been working tirelessly to clear the area to allow the resumption of agricultural activities. Wall Street Journal has documented this visit.
Our operations in Ukraine – September
As of the 1st of September 2023, more than 200 FSD staff members are at work in the provinces of Kharkiv and Chernihiv. The teams conduct surveys, clearance of minefields and carry out risk education sessions. Download the PDF to get more details.
The crucial first step
With the danger of explosive ordnance being widespread, it is easy to get overwhelmed. A preliminary survey is essential to take informed decisions on where and how to start clearance and education work. Follow our Ukrainian and Iraqi teams to learn more!
For a safer world
In 2022, FSD teams located and neutralised 6'949 landmines and pieces of unexploded or abandoned ordnance.
