NATO reviewing Ukraine's request for assistance with demining

NATO is currently evaluating Ukraine's request for assistance in demining, according to a recent statement from Brussels. The request was forwarded to NATO Allies and partner countries by the EADRCC, which is coordinating the processing. The EADRCC is working alongside relevant agencies and supporting the finalization of any offers of assistance.

NATO Allies have maintained unwavering support for Ukraine, particularly in enhancing the nation's resilience and response capabilities to the aftermath of Russia's war. The EADRCC will maintain close communication with Ukraine's Mission and relevant authorities, continuing coordination through the established mechanism. As previously reported, on August 12, NATO made Ukraine's request to the EADRCC known, seeking international aid for mitigating the impact of military operations on civilians, particularly in humanitarian demining efforts.

Ukrainian authorities emphasize the urgency of prompt action and the implementation of thorough demining measures. The request outlines a list of 19 items required for demining operations, including explosive ordnance disposal suits, tactical ballistic goggles, ear protection, magnetometers, and explosive disposal vehicles.
