Senior sapper, senior sergeant Sergey Koryaka guards the emplacement of Ukrainian Army 3rd Detached Sapper Battalion, which enters the UNO Peacemaking Army (UNIFIL) not far from Khariz, Southern Lebanon, on October, 2000. During the three month stay on the Southern Lebanon territory the Ukrainian peacemakers liquidated more than 800 highly-explosive objects, generally, antipersonnel shells. Within the previous 22 years UNIFIL forces neutralized only 56 similar finds. On Friday, November 3 Ukraine will celebrate the Sappers Day.
