In 2004-2020, the United States provided more than $68 million for aging weapons and ammunition destruction and battle area clearance in Ukraine.
“From 2004 to 2020, the United States provided more than $68 million for small arms and light weapons and ammunition destruction, as well as battle area clearance in Ukraine,” reads the report of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
As noted, Ukraine continues to address the legacy of the massive quantities of conventional arms and ammunition it inherited after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Yemen: 4 April, 2021 - As Yemen enters its seventh year of conflict, and despite the continuous and notable efforts of the Yemen Executive Mine Action Center (YEMAC) across the country, mine contamination continues to increase, posing a significant threat to the security and safety of all Yemenis.
Littered across the country, mine and unexploded ordnance contamination is a major risk of death and injury to civilians as 348 people perished in 2020. Shadowed under an ever-present fear that degrades community social structures, contamination also destroys livelihoods and has a significant negative impact on the wider economy.
