The educational series "Mine Safety" aims to provide every resident of Ukraine with vital knowledge about the threat of mines and explosive ordnance (EO). Ukraine is the most contaminated country in the world, making it crucial for everyone to be aware of potential dangers in both urban and rural areas.

 

The series covers topics such as recognizing and avoiding hazardous areas, identifying different types of mines and EO, and what to do when they are found. Special attention is given to remnants of rockets, drones, artillery and mortar shells, grenades, and bombs found across the country. You will learn what these items look like and how to act safely.

 

The series also teaches how to recognize markers and signs indicating dangerous areas, important for residents and visitors to Ukraine. Simple instructions will help you avoid hazards and respond appropriately.
