As drones, artificial intelligence and new weapons transform modern warfare, Ukraine has become one of the world’s most mine-contaminated countries, creating new dangers for civilians while threatening global food security and recovery.
In an interview with UN News, Paul Heslop, Chief Mine Action Adviser at the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine, explains how drones have fundamentally changed the battlefield, making conflicts more lethal and leaving behind increasingly complex explosive hazards.
Speaking to Jolina Dong, Mr. Heslop discussed how Ukrainian deminers are adapting to these new threats, why clearing contaminated land is essential for rebuilding – and how innovation in Ukraine could transform humanitarian mine action worldwide.
