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.
PREVENTING RISKY BEHAVIOURS
Entering a contaminated area, improvising as a deminer or playing with dangerous objects – a number of behaviours can lead to accidents involving explosive items. Our risk education teams raise awareness about these dangers to prevent accidental explosions.
30 MILLION CHF FOR UKRAINE
FSD is proud to announce renewed support from the Swiss Government for its humanitarian mine action programme in Ukraine until 2027. As a key partner in these efforts, FSD will be participating in the Ukraine Mine Action Conference, to be held in Lausanne on 17 and 18 October.
For a safer world
In 2023, FSD teams located and neutralised 5'093 landmines and items of unexploded or abandoned ordnance.
