Ukrainian farmers risk the removal of mines with tractors and tractors trees Russia-Ukraine, news war

There were a lot of mines on the Larissa Cecinco farm in Kamelsa, eastern Ukraine, after the Russians withdrew so much that she and her husband Victor began to classify themselves – with trees.

Along the confrontation line in Coropchin near Kharkiv, Mecola Periferziv began to purify the fields with his agricultural machines.

“My tractor was detonated three times. We had to get a new one. It was not well known. But we finished clearing 200 hectares of minefields within two months,” he said.

“Every definitely wanders on their own,” Igor Knizif, who is cultivating half an hour from Larissa, announced.

Ukraine is one of the famous baking ships in the world, and its black land is rich and fertile, you want to raise and inhale it.

But this dark soil is now the most mining on this planet.

More than three years of artillery fires that are uncompromising – the most intense since World War II – have spread with millions of tons of ammunition, and otherwise is not implemented.

Experts estimate that one in 10 shells fail to detonate, with up to a third of the North Korean munitions launched by Russia, which remains sound, the high explosives deteriorate as they fall.

However, drones revolution in the war in Ukraine may also transform the process of removing performance.

Ukraine and many non -governmental organizations and commercial groups are employing 80 years of drones to accelerate the huge task of removing land, with support from great international financing.

Despite the risks and official warnings, farmers themselves often take the initiative, such as Sysinkos.

They were among the first to return to the destroyed Kamiana, which was occupied by Russian forces from March to September 2022.

Two weeks after the Ukrainian soldiers recovered the village, Larissa and Victor returned to find their homeless house, without facilities.

After waiting for the winter, they returned in March 2023 to evaluate and start cleaning, and remove the participants first who were held by Russian soldiers in their annihilation.

Then they started removing removal, with trees. “There were many mines, and our Ukrainian army men were unable to give us priority. So we slowly repaired ourselves with trees,” Larissa said at a fun.

Russian artillery boxes – 152 mm highlights, Victor note with a harmful smile – sits in front of their home.

“I served in the Soviet artillery, so I know something about it,” added the 56 -year -old.

In that summer, Deminers Swiss FSD 54 discovered SYSENKOS mines.

Deminers issued instructions to Sysinkos to “vacate the house”.

“Their protocols prevented us from staying. So we complied. The mountain removal machine has passed over and over again, which led to many explosions.”

While Kamyanka is largely a ghost village with full houses, about 40 people-much less than its population before the war of 1,200.

Many are afraid of mines, and many population has climbed.

However, farmers cannot afford to wait and resume work in the vast fields of the famous “Creamozem” soil in Ukraine, which is famous for its intense blackness and fertility.

Victor added: “Looking at the surrounding villages, farmers amended tractors for clearance and already fed wheat and sunlight,” Victor added.
