Ukraine is the most mined country in the world, it may take 757 years to completely clear its territories if 500 teams of specialists who are working in the country now do it, The Washington Post writes.

"About 30 percent of Ukraine, more than 67,000 square miles, has been exposed to severe conflict and will require time-consuming, expensive and dangerous clearance operations, according to a recent report by GLOBSEC, a think tank based in Slovakia," the WP said.

Referring to GLOBSEC data, the publication notes that "the scale and concentration of ordnance makes Ukraine's contamination greater than that of other heavily mined countries such as Afghanistan and Syria."

The Washington Post also said the international non-profit mine clearance organization HALO Trust, based on information from open sources, tracked more than 2,300 incidents on the territory of Ukraine, during which munitions requiring clearance were found.

In addition, from the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022 to July 2023, the United Nations recorded 298 civilian deaths from explosive remnants of war, including 22 children, and 632 civilian injuries.

"Ukraine's contaminated territory is so massive that some experts estimate humanitarian clearance would take the approximately 500 demining teams in current operation 757 years to complete," The Washington Post said.
