In addition to government teams, approximately 400 sappers from non-governmental and international organizations are also contributing to the demining efforts in the region.

"We also call on farmers in the Kharkiv region to take advantage of the humanitarian demining market, thanks to which they can receive 100% compensation for the demining of their land plots," Shmyhal said.
