OUR OPERATIONS IN UKRAINE
More than 600 FSD staff members are now active in the provinces of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Kherson to clear the land and raise awareness about the dangers of explosive devices. In the final quarter of 2024, FSD’s goal is to maximise land clearance before winter conditions disrupt demining operations.
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 YEAR IN A VIDEO
In 2024, thanks to the dedication of our teams, our partners, and everyone supporting FSD, we’ve cleared vital infrastructures, raised awareness about the dangers of unexploded ordnance among affected communities, and helped countless families rebuild their homes.
For a safer world
In 2023, FSD teams located and neutralised 5'093 landmines and items of unexploded or abandoned ordnance.
