OUR OPERATIONS IN UKRAINE
FSD’s teams continue their work to secure land in Ukraine, focusing on areas most impacted by landmines and other explosive remnants of war. This vital work supports reconstruction and enables affected communities to build a safer future.
VETERANS TRAINED IN HUMANITARIAN DEMINING
To aid their reintegration into civilian life, Oleksandr and eleven other war veterans were trained to use drones and machines for humanitarian mine action. Learn more about this training programme, supported by UNDP and the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy.
Our Dogs Prepare for Demining in Ukraine
With an incredible sense of smell, dogs are invaluable partners in humanitarian demining. Meet Zara, TNT, and the rest of our team as they train for operations starting this spring, helping make communities safer and enable people to move around freely and securely.
For a safer world
In 2023, FSD teams located and neutralised 5'093 landmines and items of unexploded or abandoned ordnance.
