Heidi Thomas Kuhn, the founder and CEO of Roots of Peace NGO met with Oksana Markarova, Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States at the Ukrainian Embassy, in Washington, D.C.
Ednews reports that the founder of the organization shared a post on it.
The post reads:
"Honored to meet with Her Excellency Oksana Markarova, Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States at the Ukrainian Embassy, in Washington, D.C.
Ambassador Markarova is a brilliant woman who served as Minister of Finance in Ukraine.
She is also a mother of four children, and we discussed the importance of eradicating landmines—for the sake of families who may not farm their land, Food Security is a major issue when 30% of the land is now contaminated by unexploded ordnance preventing the cultivation of a field.
I remain most grateful to His Excellency, Dmytro Kushneruk, San Francisco Consul General of Ukraine, for his strong support as we continue our quest to turn MINES TO VINES in Ukraine."
