Ukraine: Kharkiv on the Ground Part 1

Join JJ Chalmers in a special two-part series as he sets foot on the ground in Ukraine. Along with HALO's Mike Newton, Mohammad "Qaissy" Abufarda, and Sophia Badalian, JJ and the team visit demining and survey operations in the eastern region of Kharkiv.

In this episode, Senior Supervisor Bohdan Hreshko leads the team to the town of Chkalovkse, where a football pitch now lays ridden with anti-personnel mines, and an agricultural field in Mykolaivka that is sown with anti-personnel mines instead of crops. JJ speaks to farmers Natalia and Vyacheslav, whose fields are contaminated with mines and tripwires, and home was destroyed by an ammunition explosion.
