Meet Ukraine’s canine recruits sniffing for landmines
Dog handler Karina Buchma and Tina the sniffer dog will soon be deployed in Ukrane’s Kharkiv region to clear the minefields. Buchma is one of eight Ukrainian women handlers, who together with 16 Belgian Malinois, are tasked to clear landmines and unexploded ordnance across Ukraine, the world's most heavily mined country. About 25 percent of Ukraine’s territory is contaminated with mines and explosive devices, according to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. Crewmen underwent a five-month training in Cambodia, and project representatives say a dog can inspect up to 1,500 square meters of land per day, as compared to 20-50 square meters by a person.
