A team of Colombian soldiers will travel to Europe to train their Ukrainian counterparts on de-mining techniques.
Colombia's nearly 60 years of internal conflict between the armed forces, leftist rebels, right-wing paramilitaries and drug cartels has made it one of the world's most-mined countries, according to the United Nations.
Landmines have killed 2,342 people in Colombia and injured close to 10,000 since 1990, according to the government.
Russian soldiers and Ukrainian authorities both have said they will clear landmines from various locations in Ukraine amid the ongoing invasion.
