      Roads enclosed by miles of fishing nets are one of the more iconic images of the Ukraine War. It is a frequently used tactic and what is notable here is setting up an industrial scale donation mechanism for Ukraine, this isn’t a one time donation it is a structural commitment to providing the huge amounts of netting required for this strategy (just think at a basic level every road you cover you need 3 times the surface area of the road for the two sides and top of the netting tunnel).
