The prolonged armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine since 2014 has generated the increasing public safety concern about landmines, abandoned unexploded ordnance (UXO) and small-size explosive remnants of war, which are spreading around the region of a conflict. Such ordnance can be used for making the improvised explosive devices (IED) as well. The background studies have identified the following key obstacles which make UXO demining and cleaning in that region challenging: an absence of government-endorsed national technical standards against which demining activity can be measured in crowded areas and non-permissive operating environment (i.e. public transport hubs and metro), and not enough human and technical capacity. Demining is carried out often using different techniques and outdated equipment. During the applied research project, the available open source international best practices and the UXO risk assessment methods were reviewed and assessed, firstly. Secondly, a new demining methodology was developed for improving the existing standard operating procedures of the bomb disposal units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU). Thirdly, a proof-of-concept was designed for field trials. A prototype of a light-weight smart steel cone was constructed which can cover small-size UXO in critical infrastructures like metro without using heavy commercial explosive ordinance disposal robots and causing a minimum impact to environment and ecology. Live field testing was conducted. Finally, based on the successful trials, the recommendations for the standard operating procedures (SOP) of the bomb disposal units of the SESU were produced. For example, this cone can be stored in metro station and easily transported by a security guard, who covers abandoned UXO. If an object goes off before the bomb squad arrives on site, then this device can efficiently protect the crowed area and environment from the bomb fragments. This new demining equipment was granted a patent.

In the beginning of the century, few desktop review projects were carried out in Ukraine under the Global Water Partnership. In particular, interested in transboundary water research, there are some examples: Environmental Project Water Management of Kakhovka Reservoir and Lower Dnieper River (2000-2001) and Flood Management in Ukraine and Slovakia (2000-2003), and the 16th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum “Maritime and inland waterways” (2007). The afore-mentioned studies were mostly dedicated to the establishment of a dialog between the governments and stakeholders. So far, basically, there were no applied research in order to perform the risk assessment in particular transboundary areas. For instance, during the past decade, both the Chervonograd coal mining industrial district in the Western Bug river region (the border between Eastern Poland and Western Ukraine) and the mitigating environmental risks for water security have been paid a little attention. The Lviv-Volyn carboniferous basin (Western Ukraine) is one of three major coal mining regions in Ukraine). This paper describes the recent preliminary results of applying GIS technology for simulation of flood risks and associated hazards in the Lviv-Volyn coal basin. The contamination of drinking water (Be, Yb, Co and Pb) was considered as one of main hazards in territory of investigation. Using satellite optical imagery, flood modeling and the prediction of contamination were conducted in the areas of West Bug River and Vistula River. The input parameters were the following: the average water flow velocity 0.45-0.65 m/s, the width of the channel in the meadows 25-70 m, and the depth 1.1-1.7 m. The river runoff is adjusted by the dams of the Dobrotrivska thermal power station and the Sokalsky chemical factory. The water field is 6250 sq. km. The issue of increasing risk of wasting drinking water resources in the region with the estimated population of about 15 million inhabitants is essential.
