A Ukrainian firm has developed boots that can help protect mine-clearance teams from injury. Since Ukraine launched a counteroffensive in June 2023 to reclaim territory seized by Russia, Moscow's forces have reportedly used land mines to extensively slow down advances across Ukraine's front. Russian troops entered Ukrainian territory in February 2022, starting a conflict that has provoked destruction and a humanitarian crisis. (KEYSTONE/EPA/SERGEY KOZLOV)
