The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs called Ukraine one of the most mined countries in the world. At the same time, they noted that she received such a status even before the start of a full-scale war of the Russian Federation.. Even before February 24, about 2 million citizens were at risk every day, given their place of residence..

The statistics were released on April 4, the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action.

#Ukraine is one of the most mine-contaminated countries in the world. Even after the public services held, more than 1. 8 million people were more than alive, set aside by millions for eight years. #MineAwarenessDay pic. twitter. com/kPna1baE5y.

According to a report by Human Rights Watch, the Russian military is placing mines hastily, erratically, and doing it wrong, hoping to contain the advance of Ukrainian troops..

However, it is also known that the invaders bombarded Kyiv with hundreds of unexploded shells.. It is now dangerous for Ukrainians to return to their homes. This can be done only after the approval of the authorities, the State Emergency Service and the National Police..
