Primarily, it refers to providing units with fire and rescue equipment and vehicles used to dismantle the rubble, personal protective equipment for rescuers, etc.
“European countries are ready to further provide necessary assistance to us [in demining]. The EU Civil Protection Mechanism is one of the channels that has already been working effectively.
