Sanna Marin Instagram – In my role as Strategic Counselor at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, I had the privilege of visiting a mine clearance site alongside First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Yulia Svyrydenko. The HALO Trust, the world’s leading landmine clearance organization, has already successfully neutralized over 19,000 landmines and unexploded ordnance in Ukraine. This effort by skilled deminers has made vast stretches of land — fields, school grounds, residential areas, and walkways—safe, eliminating the risk of accidents. With an estimated two million landmines laid since February 24th 2022, the HALO Trust’s work is not only crucial in safeguarding lives but also in enabling the restoration of normalcy and economic activities in the region. @thehalotrust
