乌克兰已成为全球地雷污染最严重的国家1。联合国开发计划署地雷行动项目经理保罗·赫斯洛普指出，当前地雷污染规模"是越南战争以来未曾见过的"1，这一局面的形成与无人机和远程武器的广泛使用密切相关1。俄军在战争中部署的POM-3型地雷构成新的致命威胁，该地雷可被靠近的脚步振动引爆1。
为应对这一危机，国际人道主义组织正在采用创新技术加快清雷进度。新型机器DMR-7能将挖掘地雷的时间从45分钟缩短至5分钟1。然而，资金和机制层面的挑战依然存在。哈洛信托在截至2025年3月31日的一年内在乌克兰支出近5000万英镑，远超乌克兰政府2860万英镑的年度预算1。自全面入侵开始以来，乌克兰政府已向扫雷部门投入15亿美元1。此外，乌克兰副经济部长伊戈尔·贝兹卡拉瓦伊尼希望建立内阁级办公室统一监督整个部门1，但这一改革的推进速度仍较为缓慢1。
Ukraine has become the world's most heavily landmine-contaminated country as a result of the ongoing conflict with Russia, with the scale of pollution reaching levels unseen since the Vietnam War 1. The widespread use of drones and remote weapons systems has dramatically expanded the affected areas, creating an unprecedented humanitarian challenge for demining organizations operating across the country 1.
International humanitarian demining groups are deploying innovative technologies to accelerate clearance efforts. The DMR-7, a new demining machine, has reduced the time required to excavate mines from 45 minutes to just 5 minutes 1. Organizations are also leveraging artificial intelligence for image analysis and drone-based monitoring to identify contaminated zones more efficiently. According to Paul Heslop, the mine action program manager at the United Nations Development Programme, "we are now seeing a massive increase in the use of drone-delivered munitions," contributing to a contamination scale "that we haven't seen since the Vietnam War" 1.
The financial burden of demining operations underscores the severity of the crisis. The Halo Trust, a leading demining organization, spent nearly 50 million pounds in Ukraine during the year ending March 31, 2025—far exceeding Ukraine's government annual demining budget of 28.6 million pounds 1. Since the full-scale invasion began, the Ukrainian government has allocated 1.5 billion dollars to the demining sector 1. A particularly dangerous threat comes from the POM-3 landmine used by Russian forces, which can be detonated by the vibrations of nearby footsteps 1.
Governance challenges remain a significant obstacle to accelerating clearance efforts. Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Economy Igor Bezkaravaynyy has advocated for establishing a cabinet-level office to provide unified oversight of the entire demining sector, though progress on this initiative has been slow 1.
