Hogyan mozgósítja Japán a globális szakértelmet az ukrán aknák eltávolítása érdekében
Japán vezető szerepet játszik a globális erőfeszítésekben, hogy segítsen Ukrajnának felépülni a világ egyik legveszélyesebb háborús örökségéből, amelynek során több millió taposóakna került a földekbe.
00:00After nearly four years of war, Ukraine is the most heavily mine-contaminated country
00:28in the world, with millions of landmines and unexploded weapons scattered over nearly
00:33a quarter of the land. This invisible danger is wrecking lives. More than 900 civilians
00:40have been killed or injured.
00:52In Tokyo, the Japanese government has just hosted the annual Ukraine Mine Action Conference,
00:58globally, Japan is one of the major supporters of Ukraine, having provided $12 billion in
01:05financial aid, equipment and training since 2022.
01:11This conference is an opportunity to coordinate international support, technical, financial
01:16and humanitarian, to accelerate demining in Ukraine. The emphasis is not only on making
01:23the country safer right now, but as an economic gateway to the future.
01:30The Japanese foreign minister said landmines cast a dark shadow over Ukraine's future,
01:36stressed the importance of mine action through international public-private partnerships.
01:41Mr. Motegi outlined a new package, the Ukraine Mine Action Support Initiative, which
01:46aims to boost human resources and technology, integrating mine action in the future.
01:47The Ukraine Mine Action Support Initiative, which aims to boost human resources and technology,
01:53integrating mine action into Ukraine's broader recovery.
02:00He also announced a new partnership with Colombia, another country with a history of landmine contamination,
02:01and a financial contribution to the NATO fund that supports mine action in Ukraine.
02:05Ukraine's deputy minister of economy,
02:06Mr. Motegi's deputy minister of economy,
02:07Mr. Motegi outlined a new package, the Ukraine Mine Action Support Initiative,
02:08the Ukraine Mine Action Support Initiative, which aims to boost human resources and
02:12technology, integrating mine action into Ukraine's broader recovery.
02:17He also announced a new partnership with Colombia, another country with a history of landmine contamination,
02:24and a financial contribution to the NATO fund that supports mine action in Ukraine.
02:30Ukraine's deputy minister of economy, environment and agriculture says the ongoing conflict makes clearing landmines even more dangerous.
02:42It's really complicated our work, but we're doing it because if we will wait when war will stop,
02:51we will lose totally our economy because our economy is in a big part, it's agriculture production.
03:00Japan and Ukraine have developed a new approach, the so-called Nexus,
03:05which is all about getting rid of the landmines, but also what comes next.
03:10Nexus idea is not doing just clearance, it's thinking about future and what will happen in the area in the future after clearance,
03:19what will rebuild and in what time period, how we work with local authorities, how we work with local citizens, with local business.
03:28Japanese engineering and manufacturing company Niken Corporation has given 12 landmine clearance machines to Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict.
03:38Japanese engineering and machine is focused on the beginning of the conflict.
03:42Japanese engineering and machine will be developed as a blue type of a NIken machine is associated with the beginning of the conflict.
03:45Japanese engineering and machine can convert them into small bikes,
03:48but they are being used to be pushed by the sites like a jewel,
03:49which is trying to remove the arms and emitters or secure the bombshell.
03:53thousands of miles away from the tokyo conference the nikken machine is being put through its paces
04:06in a real life simulation here in cambodia officers from ukraine's emergency services
04:15are learning how to use the equipment on the ground before heading home where they'll train
04:19up their colleagues in turn coordinated by the japan international cooperation agency jika
04:27this training camp pulls together expertise from the cambodia mine action center and nikken
04:33to pass on knowledge and skills to trainees from the ukrainian state emergency service
04:40this is one of several training sessions jika has held in cambodia a country that knows all too well
04:47the deadly toll that landmines exact
05:17uh back in tokyo at the ukraine mine action conference kameishi hiroto of jika says the
05:36training program is two-pronged just simply keep providing equipment doesn't work well because as
05:42that when a when introducing a new new technology or new equipment that technology and equipment
05:49should be properly used meaning that capacity development from the human resources development
05:53the key the idea is that the ukrainian officers in cambodia will now train up their colleagues back
06:00in the field we really hope that those kind of trainers will be the focal or core of the human
06:07resources development in ukraine while efforts in cambodia aim to prevent future casualties from mines
06:16the toll in ukraine is already immense with tens of thousands of people there in need of prosthetic
06:22limbs one japanese company is exploring how its technology could help
06:30obara kogyo is a fourth generation tokyo-based prosthetics company with more than 70 years of
06:36experience experience obara kogyo has received inquiries from organizations in ukraine and is
07:06considering how best to respond to the evident need for prosthetics
07:10but in a country where medical facilities are overstretched this great
07:15We've seen the brute strength of the demining machine in action in Cambodia, and other technologies
07:40are also in development to try and minimize the risks to soldiers on the ground.
07:45Industrial drone company ProDrone is working with Tokyo consultancy Padeko and two local Ukrainian
07:53partners to develop AI-powered drones that can detect mines from the sky.
08:00Someone said that demining in crime takes more than 100 years.
08:06We didn't calculate, but if this technology can contribute, then it's going to be much
08:12faster and less dangerous.
08:15It is very, very high technology, because lower altitude is very difficult to fly, but
08:23our drone can do only 20 centimetres.
08:27Then, if one metre, the detector cannot detect anything.
08:32The drones use software to map the exact location where the mines are detected.
08:38The flight path is also programmed, so the drones fly autonomously.
08:45Nagoya-based ProDrone is currently testing them at its headquarters and invited a delegation
08:51of Ukrainian companies to watch.
08:54German pilot.
08:55I am now on the microphone.
08:56I think it is on the phone.
08:57I think it is on the case.
08:58The drone is designed by machine-sized drone.
08:59The drone is on the ground.
09:00The drone is when you're flying in the ground.
09:01The drone is on the ground.
09:02It is when you're flying in the ground.
09:03It's another area.
09:04It's a way to fly in the ground.
09:06and then the area is very small.
09:09We are able to connect the two lines
09:12and connect the two lines
09:15and connect the two lines
09:18and connect the two lines
09:21Vlad Kozak of the Ukrainian Foundation Post-Up
09:24was in Nagoya.
09:26This year we had a project
09:28with the State Emergency Service of Ukraine
09:30where we surveyed 5 million square meters
09:34of suspected hazardous areas
09:36and confirmed hazardous areas
09:38so we used agricultural drones
09:40that were mostly popular in Ukraine
09:42and right now we went to the next level
09:45to try and test custom-made solutions
09:49for such applications.
09:51The widespread use of landmines
09:53has decimated farming.
09:55Before the war, much of this land
09:57was used for agriculture.
09:59Ukraine exported enormous quantities of food.
10:02It was known as the bread basket of Europe
10:05and its agriculture sector
10:07accounted for around 10% of its GDP.
10:12At a side event during the conference,
10:14Ukrainian chef Yevhen Klopatenko
10:16was serving up Ukraine's borscht soup
10:18made from vegetables from fields
10:20recently cleared of landmines
10:22to raise awareness.
10:24Three years ago, four years ago,
10:25you've been farming all of your life.
10:28And then Russian weighed
10:30and mined all the territories.
10:32And then was the time when we pushed
10:35the Russian army back
10:36and now again we have these fields
10:38but they are mined.
10:40And the farmers, they can only farm.
10:42And that's their craft.
10:44Every day they can be killed.
10:45They can be killed by the drone
10:46or they can be killed by the mine.
10:48So that's the real price of the food.
10:50It was a moment for local people
10:52to find out more about Ukraine
10:54and landmines
10:55and of course,
10:56taste the traditional dish.
10:58.
11:08,
11:13,
11:17,
11:21,
11:22,
11:26It's a great feeling that we need to continue building the work in Ukraine.
11:39With new agreements signed and fresh partnerships launched,
11:42Japan's role in Ukraine goes beyond funding.
11:45It's a full-scale effort saving lives and preparing the ground for recovery and reconstruction.
