"Smerchi", "Hradi" and thousands of mines - sappers are working near the liberated Snigurivka.

The occupiers turned the city and its surroundings into a fortified district - all landings were mined.

TSN reports that they cannot reach power lines without sappers. 

"Tails" of shells and rockets littered all the fields around Snigurivka.

Before the war, the former fitness trainer didn't even know what a missile from the "Hurricane" and an anti-tank mine looked like.

Now he works in the fields and every day with his brothers risks his life clearing black earth mines.

"I don't regret it, because we had to help our country, who but us," he says. 

Today, sappers of the State Emergency Service work in fields along landings and power lines, where there are the most mines and unexploded shells.

"There is so much contamination with ammunition - it's anti-personnel, anti-tank, cluster and projectiles - there are a lot of minefields, we don't know about some of them yet," the pyrotechnicians assure. 

Sappers walk in pairs, go to a distance, and metal detectors point to an object in the ground with a signal.

After the liberation of Snigurivka, the occupiers left behind many explosive "gifts" - from anti-personnel mines that tear off legs to planted landmines that can destroy both equipment and people.

No one removes such mines, they neutralize them.

"The most common mines on the territory of Snigurivka are POM2, PMN and damaged shells.

We destroy them on the spot," the sappers say. 

Currently, sappers work together with energy workers.

The first to break corridors for repairmen, so that they could approach and repair power lines. 

While one group of sappers is working in the fields around Snigurivka, another is demining streets and houses in villages that have been de-occupied.

Residents are afraid to even go out into their gardens, because everywhere there is something lying under their feet.

"People apply every day, especially in the areas where the de-occupation took place.

A large mass of unexploded explosives and cluster elements were left," pyrotechnicians say.  

Hundreds of kilograms of metal from unexploded rockets and shells, mines and grenades are extracted from the Mykolayiv region every day.

This deadly metal does not end, the territories where there were battles are too large.

Everything collected is stacked and taken to the fields, away from people, to be destroyed. 

Today, after clearing the fields, Mykolaiv Oblast became cleaner by one hectare, and perhaps this field, on which the dead skeleton of the sprinkler is standing, will be sown already in the spring.
