According to the draft legislation, similar efforts are already underway across Europe, with charitable organizations in countries including the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom and France contributing fishing nets to Ukraine.
Scalfarotto introduced the bill in mid-March and said he expects support from other pro-Ukraine parties to help accelerate its passage.
Scaling a basic but effective solution
The initiative aligns with a broader effort by Ukraine to make anti-drone netting a standard layer of protection near the front lines.
Ukraine’s defense authorities have outlined plans to install an additional 4,000 kilometers of protective netting over roads in frontline and border regions by the end of 2026. These covered routes are intended to protect both military logistics and civilian movement in areas where drones are increasingly used to target vehicles, emergency responders and infrastructure.
Installation rates have increased in recent months, with officials working to accelerate deployment as part of wider fortification efforts in northern and eastern regions.
While basic in design, the use of fishing nets reflects the growing need for scalable, low-cost countermeasures as drone threats continue to evolve in both frequency and complexity.
