Celebrating the Day of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit of the National Police of Ukraine

According to МВС: The bomb technicians of this unit continue eliminating threats left behind by the Russian army’s full-scale invasion. Since the start of the war, these specialists have surveyed more than 53,000 hectares of land, removing and neutralizing nearly 490,000 explosive items.

Daily Operations of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Teams

Every day, these teams dispose of:

• aerial bombs;
• mines;
• unexploded ordnance;
• remnants of enemy drones.

In addition, they have neutralized over 22 tons of explosive materials. This work is a critical part of ensuring safety in conflict-affected regions.

The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit plays a vital role in Ukraine’s recovery and security, especially in the post-war context. Given the massive scale of explosive hazards, their efforts significantly reduce risks to civilians, helping restore normal life in affected areas. Clearing dangerous objects is also essential for rebuilding infrastructure and enabling people to return to their homes.

As the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit continues its crucial work, the broader security landscape in Ukraine is also evolving. Recently, new operations have been approved by President Zelenskyy for the Security Service of Ukraine, reflecting a comprehensive approach to addressing ongoing threats. These initiatives are essential for fortifying national security and restoring stability in the region. To learn more about these developments, check out the details of the latest SBU operations.
