Credit for clearing mines: Ukraine's surprising solution grabs bankers' attention

Due to the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation, Ukraine has become the most heavily mined country in the world, as stated by the Ministry of Economy. Official data suggests that nearly one-third of the country's territory is potentially contaminated.

Some analysts predict that it would take over 750 years to clear the mines using conventional methods and available resources.

The contamination has rendered parts of the country's most valuable agricultural lands unusable, requiring significant resources for cleanup. The cost of this cleanup and potential sources of funding were explored by LIGA.net.
