The demand for such equipment for Humanitarian Demining from sappers is very high and we expect that thanks to the support of partners on the one hand, and the capabilities of Ukrainian manufacturers on the other, we will be able to both increase the number of mine clearance machines working in the fields and improve the quality of their service.
