Over a million households in Ukraine are currently without electricity as a result of severe Russian attacks targeting the energy grid. Regions including Kyiv, Odesa, and Mykolaiv are among the hardest hit, with residents facing rolling blackouts and scheduled power outages expected to last between 12 to 16 hours daily. The Ukrainian government has formed an anti-crisis headquarters and is taking measures to stabilize the energy system. As winter approaches, officials warn of worsening conditions, including potential emergency outages and longer power cuts in the capital. Amidst the ongoing conflict, energy workers are striving to restore power, while public services like bakeries and clinics adapt to operate in the dark.
