HALO Demining

Ukraine now contains the world’s largest concentration of land mines, covering over 132,000 sq km of contaminated terrain.
HALO Trust deminers are clearing mines near Myrotske in central Ukraine using drones, AI analysis and a remote-controlled excavator.
The organization employs 1,350 staff, has cleared 42,000 sq km, and includes Oleksandr Liatsevych operating the digger.
AI analysis reaches about 70 percent accuracy, and deminer Olha Kava manually searches for anti-personnel mines.

Blindspot

Left coverage stressed the deception of migrants—e.g., Peru’s citizens sent to fight in Ukraine and broader Russian recruitment pressures—while Center coverage focused only on demining and omitted this recruitment angle.
Left coverage detailed the number of foreign nationals in Russian forces and related protests, which Right coverage did not mention, concentrating instead on battlefield movements and diplomatic statements.
