She reminded that Russia's full-scale invasion has resulted in one-third of Ukraine's territory being mined.

The ambassador emphasized that this poses a danger to both its defenders and civilians.

Brink noted that they are proud that today's assistance to the State Special Transport Service will help Ukraine save more lives and support its economic recovery.

  • On July 16, the U.S. State Department handed over demining equipment worth $5.8 million to Ukraine's State Special Transport Service.
