The global problem of demining
Das globale Problem der Minenräumung entsteht durch das Vorhandensein von Minen und explosiven Kriegsrückständen in vielen Ländern der Welt. Diese Gegenstände stellen eine Gefahr für das Leben und die Gesundheit der Zivilbevölkerung dar und behindern die sozioökonomische Entwicklung von Postkonfliktregionen. Die Vereinten Nationen und andere internationale Organisationen befassen sich mit der Frage der humanitären Minenräumung, doch der Prozess ist komplex, teuer und langwierig. Experten zufolge könnte es tausend Jahre und mehr als 100 Milliarden Dollar dauern, bis der Planet vollständig gesäubert ist. Auch die Ukraine steht aufgrund des hybriden Krieges im Donbass vor dem Problem der Minenräumung, wo Russland und seine Söldner aktiv Minen und improvisierte Sprengkörper einsetzen. Die Ukraine braucht wirksame Technologien und Mittel zum Aufspüren und Vernichten von Minen sowie internationale Unterstützung in dieser Richtung.
