The Ministry of Defense is initiating the creation of an innovative hub that will unite the efforts of all interested parties in implementing advanced demining technologies for the de-occupied territories of Ukraine. This was shared by the Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Mine Action, Civil Protection, and Environmental Safety, Oleg Shuvarsky, during the session on "Mine Action in Ukraine."
"One of the tasks of this hub will be to assess modern technologies, compare global innovations, classify potential solutions according to international and national mine action standards, and test new developments. This will allow the creation of a 'technology bank in mine action' and prioritize their implementation and scaling in the country," emphasized Oleg Shuvarsky.
