"Our task is not only to demine the entire territory in order to save people's lives but also to speed up this process," Svyrydenko, who is also economy minister, said in a statement on the government's website. "This is a question of economic recovery because the sooner we return potentially mined lands to circulation, the faster business will develop on them."
Russia left large areas of land filled with mines after it halted its initial full-scale attack in Ukraine in the first half of last year and moved its forces to the east.
