Details: The aim of the campaign was to draw attention to the lives of civilians in Ukrainian frontline cities, where such nets are installed to protect against Russian drone attacks.
Information posters were placed next to the net to tell the stories of civilians suffering from Russian drone attacks.
The campaign was organised by New Age Defence and Vitsche.
"If the sky in Germany is usually associated with the weather and everyday life, in Ukraine it means danger," Vitsche activists explained on their website.
The activists later plan to send the anti-drone net from Berlin to the front line in Ukraine.
Background:
- On 24 August, the government palace in Finland was decorated with blue and yellow flags to mark Ukraine's Independence Day.
- The building of Moldova's parliament was illuminated in the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
