Ukrainian sappers are clearing their homeland of enemy explosives, thereby literally and figuratively advancing toward Victory. Demining remains one of the most critical problems for Ukraine. The indiscriminate and extensive mine-laying by russian troops continually endangers soldiers and ordinary citizens alike. Experts estimate that the complete removal of mines from Ukraine could require anywhere from several decades to hundreds of years.Oleh Panibratenko, who commands a sapper squad, remarked, "There is ample work for both us and numerous coming generations." He added, "Presently, while engaged in mine clearance in reclaimed territories, we are still uncovering ordnance from the Second World War. And that doesn't even account for the present hostilities, which have left behind a massive volume of explosive fragments." Oleh Panibratenko and his fellow soldiers have been involved in demining the liberated sectors of the Kherson region since 2023. His roots are in Zaporizhzhia.Prior
