More than UAH 3.2 million in assistance provided to Ukrainians affected by russian mines

Through the database of the National Mine Action Agency, 180 people affected by mine incidents have already received assistance worth more than UAH 3.2 million.

Since 2023, international organizations have been providing assistance that includes:

• coverage of medical treatment and rehabilitation costs;
• tools for remote education and employment for people with injuries caused by mines and explosive ordnance.

The Main Directorate of Mine Action, Civil Protection, and Environmental Safety systematically gathers data on mine incidents involving explosions.

This is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Protocol II and Protocol V to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects.

Ukrainian law enforcement agencies open criminal proceedings over violations by the russian federation of the laws and customs of war in connection with every incident involving Ukrainian civilians injured by russian mines.

The relevant database and interactive map help government and humanitarian organizations raise public awareness in high-risk regions about the dangers posed by explosive ordnance, as well as provide assistance to people with injuries caused by mines and explosive ordnance.

Reference information: As of the beginning of May, 1,482 people have been affected by russian mines and explosive remnants of war, including 150 children and 1,332 adults.
