In Ukraine, millions of inhabitants threatened by mines

Kneeling in the faded grass, about thirty men and women scrutinize the ground, centimeter by centimeter. The aim of this ant work is to detect mines whose war zone in eastern Ukraine has been riddled with for several years.

The team of deminers is working on a hill of 74,000 m2 where "direct signs" of anti-tank mines have been detected.

This ancient, curly, "Danger mines" pasturage is located in Tchouguinka, a picturesque village surrounded by pine woods in the Lugansk region, 25 kilometers west of the front line.
