Mine Action in Ukraine

The UNDP in Ukraine is leading a comprehensive 5-year mine action programme to address the extensive contamination of Ukraine with landmines, cluster munition remnants (CMRs), improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and explosive remnants of war (ERW). These hazards pose a considerable and growing threat to the civilian population and significantly impede Ukraine's economic potential.
