Russian governor seeks fishing nets from citizens for army use
Russian authorities continue to call on citizens to donate their property to the army, according to a message to the residents of Russia’s Komi Republic by governor Vladimir Uyba on his Telegram channel on June 13.
The same official previously asked local hunters for their guns to send to the front to fight Ukrainian FPV drones. This time, he requested fishing nets.
"I appeal to all residents of our region who have fishing nets," Uyba wrote, envisioning some "future victory."
"Our soldiers need them now. We have announced a collection of nets (new and used) to send to the frontline. Requirements: the nets should not be tangled, have no holes, be 5 by 5 centimeters, made of nylon, and preferably dark in color. I ask all concerned residents of Komi to join the campaign."
The official did not specify why such a "superpower" as the Russian Federation is unable to provide its army with not only modern electronic warfare equipment but even ordinary nets.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
