Siem Reap (Cambodia) (AFP) – 15 Ukrainian deminers are in Cambodia, learning from local experts with decades of experience in one the world’s most heavily mined countries. In December, President Volodymyr Zelensky called for long-term help in clearing Ukraine of mines and other unexploded ordnance, which he said now covers an area roughly the size of Cambodia. One priority for those in training is to protect “the health and lives” of those carrying out this dangerous work.
