KYIV, June 20 – The Ukrainian economy will lose $800 million annually due to the idle time of mined fields, according to a study by Top Lead.
"Ukrainian farmers have been suffering from Russian shelling for more than a year now. They are experiencing material losses, as explosive objects interfere with agricultural work. Destroyed military equipment, rockets and drones emit heavy metals, explosives and combustion products. Rockets and shells that fall on the fields do it impossible to process them, pollute the land, fires destroy crops," the study says.
