In Mykolaiv region, the clearing of 148 hectares of the "Valentina" farming enterprise has begun

Two remote-controlled Bozena 5+ machines and five demining groups from the "South" humanitarian demining department are involved in the demining efforts.

The head of the work is Denys Yerkhov.

The village of Blahodatne in Mykolaiv region suffered severe destruction during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Over the course of eight months in 2022, the occupiers repeatedly entered this area, leading to horrific damage. Blahodatne, which is part of the Pervomaisk community, was 95% destroyed.

The lands of the "Valentina" farming enterprise, located near the village, were also affected and are currently unusable due to the significant danger they pose to life. The territory of the enterprise is contaminated with unexploded ordnance, including: multiple rocket launchers (MRLS), TM62M and TM62P anti-tank mines, PMN2, OZM72, POM2 mines, cluster munitions 9N210, and other second-category unexploded ordnance.
