The United States has launched a $47.6 million demining assistance project in Ukraine, the State Department said on Wednesday.
“September 30, the State Department provided $47.6 million to Tetra Tech, Inc. of Pasadena, California to provide emergency humanitarian mine clearance assistance to Ukraine,” the statement said.
Under the terms of the project, the company will “strengthen Ukraine’s ability to detect and clear landmines, unexploded and abandoned ordnance, improvised explosive devices and other explosive objects from civilian areas.”
In addition, Tetra Tech will provide Ukraine with the tools needed to carry out demining work.
This project is part of a $91.5 million demining assistance the State Department will provide over the coming year.
