Abstract
Vast areas of agricultural land in Ukraine have been damaged as a result of the armed aggression of the russian federation. This has led to soil degradation and a decline in land productivity. Using the example of an agricultural field located in the Synelnykove district of Dnipropetrovsk oblast, Ukraine, the reclamation of a site after an explosion was studied. By processing Sentinel-2 satellite images, images of the studied field before the explosion and after restoration were obtained. This made it possible to assess the quality of the reclamation efforts. The obtained data indicated a complete recovery of soil fertility in the affected area, highlighting the correctness of the chosen reclamation strategy, tactical decisions, and their implementation.
