The projected number of areas that fall under the definition of "requiring examination for the presence of contamination by mines and explosive objects" and to which access can be obtained today (we are not talking about areas that are directly in the combat zone or temporarily occupied), 2.6 million hectares

This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformations and Digitalization, Denis Bashlyk, in a comment on AgroPortal.ua.

At the same time, he adds that if a non-technical survey of these lands is carried out, the total area for demining can be reduced by 70%.

If we talk about geography, then the agricultural land for the survey falls in the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. And in the last two, the situation is the most critical, so the regions, according to Denis Bashlyk, will be a priority.

"The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food, for its part, took the initiative so that land in the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, where vegetables are grown, should be a priority this spring and farmers would be able to cultivate them," he states.
