The event gathers international experts to discuss people-focused solutions, partnerships, and technological innovations for clearing mines across nearly 25% of Ukraine's territory.
Japan delivered six mechanical demining machines to Ukraine, part of a larger 22-machine donation. Nikken BM307-V16 models, based on Hitachi ZX160 excavators, can clear 400-800 ㎡ per hour. Ukrainian specialists are training in Cambodia to operate this equipment.
Ukraine has localized the production of the MV-4 mine clearance vehicle at 15% and plans to increase this to 25-30% by year-end, enhancing demining efforts during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.
Ukraine's demining efforts show significant progress as the Ministry of Economy reports nearly half of priority farming lands cleared since the beginning of 2023.
