Ukrainian farmers , with the help of workers trained to use metal detectors, have their fields checked before agricultural machinery can do any work. If ammunition remnants are found, they ask sappers to assess whether they pose a threat. Once the danger is over, farmers are able to plant crops in the fields. Russian troops entered Ukraine in February 2022 starting a conflict that has provoked destruction and a humanitarian crisis. EPA-EFE/SERGEY KOZLOV
