do you tell how to cope with stress, go to how are you.com to find out ukraine is the most explosively mined country in the world 180,000 square kilometers are contaminated with objects, this is a third of the country's territory. such data were cited by the ministry of defense . the kherson region is the most mined, at the current pace , demining will take decades. that at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, specialists of the state emergency service removed almost 350,000 explosive objects and three tons of explosives, including more than 2,000 air bombs. mine clearance in ukraine is engaged in both state structures such as the state

emergency service and the ministry of defense , as well as private operators. with the involvement of ukrainian foreign specialists, in general , more than 30 countries and partner organizations provide support to ukraine in demining , 724 were detonated on russian mines in march alone 226 of them died in the old days. this was announced by prime minister denys shmygal. in the de-occupied territories, the enemy left a large number of explosive devices . according to the prosecutor's office, after the liberation of kharkiv oblast, 169 people were blown up with ammunition. most of them were civilians. 34 civilians died in the region. and the death of civilians from the explosion of dangerous objects is the collision of a car or agricultural vehicle with anti-tank mines be vigilant and be sure to follow the rules

of safety, avoid unknown objects and do not approach them. if you find a suspicious object, immediately notify the rescuers about it. rostislav smirnov, political expert, adviser to the minister of internal affairs, joins our broadcast in 2022. rostislav congratulations, congratulations. my congratulations. ukraine wanted to talk to you about how critical this level is. i have come across such comparative information somewhere. perhaps you can confirm it so that the level of explosive contamination of the territory of ukraine can be to compare with that switzerland is only four and a half times more, and that’s not taking into account the territory that is still temporarily occupied because the mining of our ukrainian land continues there. that’s how it really is, because we have laid more than 170,000 square kilometers today it is potentially possible that the term is not a mined territory but a potentially dangerous territory, because we do not know

, but we must explore the entire territory and the fact that, for example, we liberated and de-occupied kyiv chernihiv a rural area does not mean that it is already completely safe, because first of all humanitarian demining usually takes place. in general, there are uh, um, 6 types of demining , depending on the types of uh, and what we need there, for example, i don't know under populated areas from e roads and so on, but i don't know about forest fields there, and so on. believe me, it could be a forest, and maybe there won't be any mines there, but we can't afford such a luxury as simply saying that there's probably nothing there, so of course experts should pursue this area and to say the final point that this territory is under investigation and it is definitely safe for the protection of any citizens or, for example , for the work of agrarians and so on, i can say that today ukraine is the most mined country in the world and there are certain ratings that show this in relation to

the territory regarding the number of mines and so on, it has been set. today, we are number one in the world precisely in the area of ​​mining, and in fact, this work is extremely long-term and it will take more than one year for sure a how many people talked about the fact that more than 30 countries and partner organizations provide this assistance, how do they help us , are they physically present here and do it together with us, or do they help with equipment, help with advice, instruct our miners, first divide into two parts how much will we need depending on different, let's say so and so, our connection with mr. rostislav was interrupted

, we are trying to establish him and call him back because the topic is , of course, extremely important and here we are talking not only about the demining of e-e infrastructure and those cities and villages in which people live and may come across these minefields that are left by the russians, but also about the future harvest and about our fields, which are currently also mined , is absolutely true, and this is despite the fact that sowing has started and well, at least the farmers need them to cultivate the land, and we will talk about that later, we return to the conversation with rostislav of smyrna, and hmm, rostislav, the connection was interrupted, actually, and at your first words about who is helping us with what and how long demining can last, eh, in general, there are different opinions experts have institutes that study the situation in the country because, again, it seems to me that after the second world war, the situation in

ukraine in terms of mining is unprecedented , and the most territory, let's say, is mined, that's why we are ranked number one today according to various experts. we will need from 7 to 10 years, and some experts say even more than 10 years ago, it is difficult to say here because , again, conclusions can be made after the end of the war for now. shelling continues every day, and those territories that were surveyed yesterday must be surveyed anew because there were shellings again. that is why it will continue. this is the first part. the second part is about what we need. there are two components of what we need. the first is personnel . that is, sappers of various degrees are identifiers that can be used directly to reduce the amount of time for demining certain areas .

we have several training grounds, we have several academies for directly training such people, and it is taking place, and you yourself said about it that the number will be increased and there are special programs for this, here is actually the first - this is state history, what i said about and the second - this is a private company , both ukrainian and international, in ukraine there are about 10 of them with licenses, there are many international companies that will help, including those that have the potential for technical support, this is a separate part here, in principle, i cannot help you to say that there will be problems because there are not enough specialists, but there is another issue that is just the most relevant and what seems to me to be doing the most. to the extreme, i think the ministry of internal affairs is currently doing this logistical support because uh, if we are talking about custom efficiency , sometimes you cannot increase it multiple times by increasing the number of personnel, what you need is material, technical, safe transport that detects explosive

objects, that transports it, that neutralizes it there is a lot of such transport in the world, there is enough of it, and there is a company that produces it, including to order , that is why, if you saw, for example, from the last e-e, for the state emergency service, it helps the most precisely in terms of demining, that is, they transfer the equipment of the latter, as far as i remember i mean, what i personally saw was that the vehicles were handed over by the fund, if i'm not mistaken. in my opinion, the buffaka handed over several vehicles precisely for demining the country. well, we must understand that there are six types of demining, and from one side for example, we can, for example, go to the field, point to it. and when we talk about agrarians, you say that this territory is, in principle , there, for example, we see that it is free and in the spring, or there, for example, closer to the summer , a certain technique of rural os- agricultural purpose passed and

everything is okay but during shelling, some explosions, dangerous objects can sink into the ground up to 2 m, and the earth has such a property that over time it even squeezes explosive objects to the top, so and so. for example, we can say that this is land or this is a field it is absolutely safe, and then the same tractor passes a year or six months later in the same place where cultivation was already taking place, it seems that everything was ok and it just blows up, that is why there are special transport vehicles, first of all, which can scan up to a few tens of centimeters deep into the ground on the other hand, if you have seen there are such special means that cultivate there, in my opinion, a club of earth up to 50-70 cm , so dangerous, yes, yes, yes, they blow up at such times. in this way, in principle,

explosive objects are neutralized. in fact, this is a very serious process, it is extremely long, which is why it will take about 10 years to be able to say that our fields are safe, but i would like to say, probably only here, the only thing they can do is give recommendations to all our citizens if you are or live in places which were previously in occupied places, it is better in unsurveyed places, first of all , i am talking about propolis lands and so on , do not walk there, do not walk or, in simple language , walk on flooded paths because, again, danger can be waiting anywhere, good advice. by the way, i saw farmers on their own trying to, er, prepare for sowing or before the start. well, actually check this land without waiting for sappers, miners, explosives technicians . they buy mine detectors, echolocators , and try to pass by themselves, and quite literally

the day before, i saw the information that one farmer tractor has put it on the base of the bmp and thus he protects himself at least from some shrapnel damage if they explode when he starts cultivating his land such inventions are interesting, but it is not worth repeating such stories because , as mr. rostislav said, we have enough professionals for this, and they will cope with it only a matter of time, rostislav i wanted to clarify with you regarding the priority of demining regions, how is it now determined which region a group of sappers goes first and where , for example , first of all, it is the fields.

the fact that there are six types of demining and there are by and large three organizations that are engaged in demining the country , this is the state emergency service in the division of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine, this is the pyrotechnics and the national police of ukraine, and this is the ministry of defense with its sappers and its service, in principle, which is engaged in if we let's talk about priority, i can't say. it seems to me that there are some drafts who says this is number one - this is number two, but what was a-a and what remains as of today seems to me and in principle it is obvious of course, humanitarian demining takes place in the first place, this is demining in populated areas, that is, if we e-e de-occupy certain population centers to the usual , demining takes place in the first place, e . to be also or their hygiedia number two - these are objects of strategic infrastructure. i would say that it is possible that somewhere in a certain sense they even go in parallel, because it is not a question of these

objects in particular, but it is a question of the vital activities of these bridge because there is energy and gas supply there, and i think you remember very well when we occupied and liberated kherson oblast. that was the number one question, when will we return the electricity , when will we return the heating to the homes of our residents, and so on. and this was also extremely important, and they then they were just mined. believe me, i was still involved in demining and in the structure of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine and what i saw . every day i received certificates where they were. i just don't know. you could open the meter and there was demining and so on, just the territory they simply survived and what they mined was simply completely mined, that is why, in fact, it is of a certain kind, including the heroism of our pyrotechnics, our sappers, who do this dangerous work every day, and in order to once again return life to our cities and ukraine, and then, of course, everything

the rest, i can say that there is a separate system with the farmers. at the very least, it was for sure now, i will not say the system that has been put in place today. by private companies, i.e. to conclude certain contracts in order to explore certain territories. that is why this process is ongoing. but again, first of all , demining usually takes place in populated areas so that people can return to their homes and feel safe when you are talking about the possibility of turning to private companies, can you give an idea of ​​the prices today from private sappers for demining the territory ?

to go and learn this art, the art of a sapper, so that later on, well, just, uh, clean up your own land, how long, how long, how long is the training itself, and what are the prices, if you know this information, and the training is like this, the training is like that, but it has exactly i would say this is more informational in nature, for that it was to train the workers of the same farming , but this does not mean that they have the right , that is, for example, if a farmer there does not know what his workers are sure about, this does not mean that his land is now free and they are released and they are absolutely all groups of the settlement can go to learn and they can clean it themselves. me, i would rather call it not training. and i would rather say it is safety rules, but i would rather call it that , actually because we have companies in ukraine in the order of 10, if i'm not mistaken, who only have specialized licenses that can be obtained, if i'm not mistaken, in the ministry of defense of ukraine in order to undergo demining, there is a list of special

equipment. it must be on the balance sheet of special e-e hmm people, that is, professionals who can do this to do and so on and if we say again the areas are a separate program but it is more about health safety and so on but they can turn to both the state emergency service and private companies and it is not necessarily always paid because there are, again, many international guarantees and programs that help demining the territories of our country, in principle, at a large expense with the funds of our international partners, thank you for this information, for the conversation, as always interesting p. rostyslav, good to you and have a good night rostyslav smirnov, a political expert, advisor to the minister of internal affairs, was with us live in 2022. well, we will continue the broadcast. we remind you that now on this broadcast, our friends are summing up the results of the week

that has passed. and here is what we will talk about next on the sidelines of the ramstein conference, the allies of ukraine announced about new defense initiatives for kyiv, the us will begin training ukrainian soldiers on abrams tanks in the coming weeks , three dozen tanks will arrive at the test site in germany at the end of may ministry the defense forces of ukraine and estonia concluded an agreement on expanded defense cooperation . tallinn has already announced the provision of 155 mm ammunition to ukraine, and canada will receive high-caliber rifles and radio stations for a total of $30 million. russia, on the condition that there will be no civilian casualties, germany - the netherlands provide ukraine with mini-rinks, vehicles and

a fuel tank, the head of the joint committee us chiefs of staff e mark milles said that ukraine now needs air defense systems to protect itself from russian missile attacks about agreements regarding aircraft is not publicly known and we are in touch oleksiy ezhyk expert of the national institute of strategic studies p oleksiyu good zero can you hear us p oleksiyu congratulations, congratulations. let's start with the evaluation. let's start with the evaluation of the results of the 11th ramstein. how successful was it for us? well, it can be considered successful by default if there are already minimal at least the results of training and new anti-aircraft systems and rifles and other equipment that our partners will provide to us if we educate from what is needed directly

on the battlefield, then this successful meeting gave so many weapons of the battlefield actually for the offensive for the logistics of the offensive and to protect the territory of ukraine , the troops also provided the maximum or something, all points of view were really successful rammstein but there were no miracles, there were no weapons that many expected, well, our partners believe that they are not needed if we are talking about missiles of perfect action and aviation, many people calculated that it is similar now, it is not similar, it is similar during the actual counteroffensive, which is already planned, which is about to begin, there will be field weapons and means of air defense and logistics for the next one, they often talk about the fact that
