On Monday, October 11, Norway announced financial aid of $18.5 million for demining in Ukraine. This was announced by Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt.
According to her, the use of mines and cluster munitions has led to Ukraine being one of the most mined countries in the world today.
Norway has been stepping up demining efforts in Ukraine, especially since the start of Russia's aggressive war.
Demining helps to save civilian lives, especially children, and is an important condition for other types of humanitarian aid and infrastructure reconstruction.
