"We've come up with a solution that makes a real difference," the University of Cambridge student said.An Insulate Ukraine window has four layers of protection and allows light in, unlike other replacements

Mr Blakiston Houston designed it as a simple way to make a difference to those in liberated areas of Ukraine who have been left picking up the pieces following Russian retreats.

'Harry said the windows help people 'get back to some kind of normality' but the west is still sending weapons to kill UKRANIANS for Zelensky. Will these windows protect children and the unborn from the effects of depleated uranium shells? Ukrainian lives matter. Stop the arms.

Had one of these on my car in the 90s.

Could use black sacks for blackout curtains...

I have some spare plastic tesco shopping bags to donate.

Perspex is just as flexible, and transparent, which is a basic functionality for a 'window'. 🤷‍♂️

Stunning and brave.

This is a joke right ? Temporary plastic over a broken window ? What a revolutionary idea !

Doesn't look like they let in a lot of natural light!🧐 Just a single sheet of clear plastic nailed into the frame is all that's needed. You don't need the over engineered piping either.

Genius 🙄
