Featured in the The Odessa Journal last week, our project with the Swiss Confederation and The State Emergency Service of Ukraine is a key platform for Switzerland's internationally-renowned support for humanitarian demining.

At the Ukraine Mine Action Conference, host country Switzerland announced plans to transfer three GCS-200 heavy demining machines to Ukraine. The symbolic handover of the first machine took place during the conference.

This machine will arrive in Ukraine in the next few weeks, with its sister machines arriving next year. Also in the Odessa Journal, Yulia Svyrydenko confirmed that, thanks to the joint efforts of Ukraine and its partners, a total of 98 mechanical mine clearance machines are currently operational. Having delivered nearly 60 machines to date, we are proud to be number one in our field in Ukraine.
