Russia’s war in Ukraine continues to evolve on a daily basis.
Mariupol, a city in southeastern Ukraine, has been ground zero for countless horrors since the invasion started.
Just this week, a missile hit a theater where civilians were hiding.
Diana, theDaily Mailreports, didn’t see this as a political issue, but a humanitarian one.
“That is why I felt drawn to this human tragedy,” she explained at the time.
“How can countries which manufacture and trade in these weapons square their conscience with such human devastation?”
During her visit to Angola, Diana walked through an active minefield in the town of Huambo, perPeople.
In January 2022, Prince Harry replicatedthe same walk his mother didthrough Huambo.
Just months after Diana’s death, the United Nations ratified the Mine Ban Treaty.
So far, 164 countries have signed the agreement.
However, that hasn’t stopped the use of landmines or halted the already-planted devices from exploding.
Along with the human cost, there’s an economic one tied to landmines.
It costs some $3 to produce a mine, but about $1,000 to clear one."
“The more people see them,” she explained, “the more people stay safe.”
According to Newsweek, there are currently over 400 members of The HALO Trust currently working in Ukraine.
The donation made by the Sussexes will undoubtedly go towards helping with the economic burden of this mission.
