In a Facebook post published on June 14, the organization said that the threat of explosive objects is serious "because Ukraine is one of the most mined and contaminated with explosive objects countries in the world."

UNICEF and the State Emergency Service announced they would teach Ukrainian children and teenagers how to behave during holidays to stay safe.

According to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko, nearly one-third of Ukraine has been mined since February last year.

Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said that Ukraine would need at least 10 years to demine its territories after the war.
