A new deployment of Canadian soldiers — combat engineers and medical trainers — are beginning their multi-month assignment to various facilities in Poland, training successive rotations of Ukrainians on the skills they need now.
Beyond this, 30 per cent of Ukraine's territory is now contaminated with land mines, seeded by forces from both sides.
"We will have to do lots of demining, it will be hard, some estimates are that it could take five years, just so people can use their homes," said Ukrainian soldier Pte. Sologub. Military authorities would not reveal his full name for safety reasons. Four days after the interview, he was back on the front lines, putting the new skills taught by Canadians in Poland to the test.
While those pressure plate mines are widespread in Ukraine, so too are seismic devices which explode based on any movement around them. That makes mine clearance especially challenging.
