"Demining efforts are ongoing… Flowing the occupation of the Kyiv region, districts such as Bucha, Vyshhorod, and Brovary are still heavily mined. These are currently the most hazardous areas in this regard," Farenyk explained. "This work will likely continue for years, as we are still receiving reports, applications, and even discovering unexploded ordnance from the Second World War."
