UN Program Manager about demining in Ukraine Paul Heslop said in an interview with the British newspaper The Times that the scale of mining in Ukraine is several times more serious than it was in Afghanistan and Somalia.
According to him, he has been working in demining around the world for 30 years . He managed to visit many places, from Somalia to Afghanistan.
“Now I can say that everything else, except for Ukraine, was just an exercise,” noted Heslop.
He specified that Ukraine currently, the number of mines and unexploded ordnance exceeds anything Europe has faced since World War II.
