13 May 2024, Hamburg: Hamburg's Senator of the Interior Andy Grote (l-r, SPD) speaks during the official handover of a GCS 200 demining vehicle at the Hamburg Police Academy grounds, with Philipp von Michaelis, CEO of Global Clearance Solutions AG, Oleksii Makeiev, Ambassador of Ukraine to Germany, and Iryna Tybinka, Consul General of Ukraine in Hamburg, standing next to him (2nd from right). The device, which costs around one million euros, is the first of four vehicles that Hamburg is handing over to Ukraine. One third of Ukraine's land area is now considered mined. The GCS 200 can clear one and a half soccer fields of mines per day. Photo: Ulrich Perrey/dpa
