Ukraine’s contaminated territory is so massive that some experts estimate humanitarian clearance would take the approximately 500 demining teams in current operation 757 years to complete.

It took nearly four decades to clear the Falkland Islands of mines; the work finished in 2020. And that was after a war that lasted only 74 days.
> GLOBSEC estimates that one deminer can only clear 49 to 82 square feet per day, depending on the terrain and concentration of explosives.
I absolutely cannot blame anybody for wanting to take as much time as humanly possible for their own safety and peace of mind.. but 4,55 to 7,62 square meters per day doesn’t sound right?
