As the focus of the russian war in Ukraine is shifting eastwars, russian forces are filling the ground with landmines. Six ukrainian women have begin training in Kosovo to deactivate explosive devices in their war-torn country.
They are the first group of Ukrainian deminers to be trained from the MAT Kosova center in the city of Peja.
Instructors are teaching six Ukrainian women how to dispose of unexploded ordnance, such as cluster munitions, landmines and other explosive remnants.
20-year-old Anastasiia Minchukova says she joined the training to help her country.
“There is a great demand in Ukraine for people who know how to demine, because the war will end soon.We believe there is a lot of work to be done and I say I will be helpful to help.”
Yuliia Katelik, 38, is a mother of three childrens from Kramatorsk.
“As a mother, I understand that there is a problem with mines that is very serious, especially for children. “We are facing a high concentration of the spread of different types of explosive devices and we must work for the safety and well-being of children and all people,” she said.
Experts say Russian troops have dispersed numerous mines following their withdrawal from northern Ukraine now that they are focusing eastward, including variants with sensitive sensors that can explode if approached, even without touching them.
