Worked on this piece looking at the many angles that @UNDP is tackling the problems of mines in Ukraine, to make land safe for living, working and the future, even amidst ongoing war
Ukraine is now the most mined country in the world. Up to 23% may be contaminated by landmines & unexploded ordnance. Even as the war continues, @UNDP is supporting recovery efforts to make the land safe again.
