Our main ambitious goal is to have surveyed the vast majority of potentially mined territory by 2033, and to make Ukraine mine-free

- Shmygal said. 

According to him, several key tasks need to be accomplished on of this path, including: 

  • create a full-fledged mine action management system;
  • to form a long-term international coalition for demining Ukraine;
  • expand the production of demining machines, as well as the use of innovative methods and technologies;
  • raise public awareness of mined areas and inform people about the risks. We have important achievements in each of these areas.

We thank Switzerland for organizing the conference, which brought together more than 50 official delegations. Called on participants to join the Lausanne Call to Action, which will be the final document of the conference
