Ukraine could take at least 10 years to clear land and water from mines

“Ukrainian will take at least a decade to clear all mines and explosives from land and its water after the war. ”

So a spokesman for Ukraine's state emergency service has indicated on Friday.

So far, Ukraine has managed to clear 620 square kilometers of land that was filled with thousands of explosive devices, including 2,000 bombs thrown from the air, according to Oleksandr Khorungiy.

Almost 300,000 square miles, about half of Ukraine's territory, are still viewed as contaminated.

“will take up to 10 years, according to an optimistic figure. Because we still don't know what's going on in territories where active fighting is taking place now”, Oleksandr Khorungiy further stressed. /abcnews.al/
