The TM62-P3 AT landmine is a majority plastic which makes detection more difficult then high metallic mines. Minefield operations obviously comes with a certain level of risk, and these plastic mines add another layer of danger mine action teams face in Ukraine. #Ukraine

The OZM-72 is my humbled opinion is the most dangerous antipersonal mine in Ukraine. Oftentimes tripwire activated, this bounding mine is extremely lethal for humans and animals. Finding and disposing of them is necessary as the reality is civilians, will find them the hard way Landmineremoval.org

The removal of explosive hazards is not fast or easy. There are millions of landmines and Unexploded Ordnance in Ukraine injuring and killing innocent people. Our team is doing our part to help make areas safe again but support is needed. See landmineremoval.org for your way to make a difference

September 12th, 2010 is the day I stepped on an IED in Afghanistan that nearly took my life. 15 years later, on my 11 mission to Ukraine, im using that experience and pain I went through to help others.

As im driving east to Kharkiv, I realized I made another successful trip around the sun. It's crazy how fast time goes by. Life is short, so live it to the fullest and help as many people as you can while you are here. Try to leave this world a better place than when you came in. Landmineremoval.org

What if this was your home? Every village, farm, and home we work to remove landmines and explosive hazards, I always treat it as if it was my home. Care, empathy, compassion, and love is universal.
Support our mission at landmineremoval.org and make a difference.

Landmines are indiscriminate killers. They do not care about race, religion, gender or your POLITICS. Landmines will continue to injure and kill long after the last shot of this war is fired. September's mission is coming fast so see Landmineremoval.org for your way to support and make a difference.

Im still feeling blessed that our first annual Tip of the Spear gala was such a huge success. This wasn't for us, but for mine-action in Ukraine.
Our mission in Ukraine is moving forward fast, but support is needed. Please see Landmineremoval.org for your way to get involved and make a difference.

How do you sum up our first annual Tip of the Spear gala in one word? Epic!!!
So many people to thank for making this possible, but here's a little sneak peek.
There's a lot more to come, so stay tuned. We are just getting started. See Landmineremoval.org for your way to support #Ukraine #gala

I've been extremely busy since returning from Ukraine, but busy is good.
Next up is May 31st, our first annual Gala in Dallas. All proceeds go toward mine-action in Ukraine, and it's going to be an epic night.
See Landmineremoval.org if you'd like to support or attend!

What do landmines in Ukraine have to do with me? I've been asked this question a lot. It's about humanity. It's about the oppression landmines bring, living in constant fear, a prison in your own home. Checkout the video and let's make a difference

Had an incredible 24 hours in Atlanta! It was an honor to speak at three events, sharing our mission in Ukraine. With everything happening in the world today, it's very easy to forget about the suffering in Ukraine. I will do my best to ensure Ukraine is not forgotten. landmineremoval.org #Ukraine

Amazing to see my Ukrainian brother after almost 3 years. Last time I saw Ivan was when we were in Posad-Pokrovske, Kherson Oblast in Nov 2022, two days after the Russians retreat. We were working together blowing up cluster mines. We may not be blood, but we are brothers
