The ongoing war in Ukraine has inflicted devastating humanitarian impacts across the country. Intense fighting and bombardment in the country have caused widespread civilian casualties – 13 341 people killed and 32 744 injured since 20221, mass displacement, but also extensive contamination by explosive ordnance (EO) including landmines, cluster munitions, unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other explosive remnants of war (ERW). These threats will continue to claim civilians’ lives in Ukraine even decades after the end of the conflict.
