Irrigation canal littered with the detritus of war. Agricultural operations in southern Ukraine can not produce as they once did, not only because the fields are mined, but also because the vital network of irrigation canals became a rubbish bin for Russian munitions.

Just an average agricultural field in Mykolaiv Oblast, littered with 108 pieces of ERW.

The fruits of our labor working alongside @prevailtogether_eng and @invictusglobalresponse: 186 pfm-1s collected and destroyed. We still acutely feel the loss of our fellow volunteers, Chris and Nic, whose skill and dedication made this work possible.

Last week, the National Mine Action Authority of Ukraine opened a new training and testing complex for the development of new technologies in mine action. We were honored to attend the opening alongside representatives from Safe Pro Al and the Igor Sykorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

Landmines are forever and they do not care. They do not care about your politics or your morals. Neither about your mood nor your friends. They don't care that you're an expert or just a little kid. Their only care is death. And the numbers are always on their side. R.I.P.

We have been working with @prevailtogether_eng and @invictusglobalresponse on a large area contaminated with PFM-1 anti-personnel mines. Our tech, combined with their field experience, means more mines cleared safer and faster.

We received a drone-deployed mine marker kit, developed by Demining Research Community and assembled by Eyes on Ukraine. We will be field testing this redesigned version in the coming weeks.

This is what a PMN-4 anti-personnel mine looks like from an altitude of 12 meters (39.4 feet) on a cloudy day in an overgrown field. Finding ERW in such conditions would be nearly impossible without the specialized image recognition software provided by our partner Safe Pro AI.

Over the last 18 months, Sunflower Project drone pilots have surveyed 1217 hectares of land and catalogued 3118 pieces of ERW. We could not have achieved this without your support and the support of our partners. The 2025 season is just beginning!

It's mine hunting season again in Ukraine. We are surveying a 128 hectare field with Bryon Mapes from Invictus Global Response, searching for ERW. We will be sharing our findings with SSTS and the EOD Police who will be clearing the field in the near future.
