The NGO Association of Sappers of Ukraine has signed a guarantee letter with the Hostomel community on releasing land. It is a step towards making land touched by the fighting usable again.

This was reported by the Hostomel Settlement Military Administration.

Before the document was signed, the association’s specialists carried out a repeat non-technical survey. They found no signs of contamination with explosive objects.

Still, the association will keep monitoring the risks under the supervision of the Mine Action Centre. Farmland will be monitored for at least two years, covering two full cycles from sowing to harvest.

For plots that are not in use yet, monitoring will last three years. It is important for the community to return land to use and keep watching over its safety, the settlement administration stressed.
