One day I hope all that netting can be used as soccer nets for happy and healthy Ukrainian kids.

I've learned the other day that these nets are donated by fishermen around Europe and gathered by volunteers.

Zelensky personally met fishermen from Brittany to tracks l thanks them for all the donated nets.

Not likely. Both sides started burning the enemy nets with thermite.

But I'm confident Ukranian children will play many soccer/football games there in the near future. With new nets, of course.
