The High Cost of Energy in Ukraine's War-Torn Landscape

TL;DR Summary
Ukraine's Kharkiv region, close to the Russian border, is the most heavily mined place in the country, with more landmines found here than anywhere else. Russia deployed landmines to defend their positions and slow the Ukrainians, leaving a lethal footprint behind. Deminers have found over 55,000 explosives in the area, including banned butterfly mines that can injure and kill civilians indiscriminately. At least 27 people have been killed and 118 more injured in the Kharkiv region alone since September. Demining Ukraine is going to cost $37.4bn, and Kyiv is trying to convince as many countries as possible to help.
