Since the beginning of 2025, over 4,600 hectares of agricultural land have been surveyed in the Kyiv region, with more than 1,000 hectares having been cleared of mines.
This was reported by the head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, Mykola Kalashnyk.
In total, since the start of the armed aggression by Russia against Ukraine, more than 37,600 hectares of territory have been surveyed in the region, including nearly 8,136 hectares of agricultural land.
According to Kalashnyk, harvesting has begun in Kyiv region, but in order for the fields in the liberated areas to feed people again, they first need to be cleared of deadly remnants.
“Today, farmers are harvesting early grains and legumes. The first harvest in Kyiv region commenced in the Bila Tserkva area. The initial results are encouraging – the yield is good. Soon, agricultural producers throughout the region will join the harvest. A mass gathering of other crops is expected closer to mid-July,” Kalashnyk added.
