SES and UNOPS partner to modernise mine action
Deputy Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine Roman Prymush and the head of the UNOPS delegation Tim Lardner held negotiations to improve the equipment of Ukrainian pyrotechnics. The main focus is on providing modern equipment and professional development, which directly affects the speed and safety of humanitarian demining.
Roman Prymush emphasised that thanks to international support, in particular from UNOPS, the SES has significantly expanded its capabilities in this area. He also stressed the openness to further cooperation that will strengthen the security of communities.
International support as a foundation for security
Tim Lardner noted the professionalism of Ukrainian rescuers and the resilience of the Ukrainian people. He emphasised that UNOPS is honoured to be a partner of Ukraine and expressed his readiness to continue supporting the SES in strengthening its capacities.
The cooperation is aimed not only at providing technical equipment, but also at building long-term partnerships that will contribute to the security of people and the reconstruction of the country.
Impact on the clean-up process
Improving technical support and training of specialists will help speed up humanitarian demining. This is important for the return of safe life to the areas cleared of explosive hazards. Improving security has a direct impact on the social recovery of communities and the stabilisation of regions.
The SES, with the support of UNOPS, continues to integrate new technologies and international experience to effectively combat the consequences of the armed conflict.
