As Ukraine enters the heating season, the country is grappling with the impact of intensified Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure, including both electricity and gas networks. Experts warn that these assaults could lead to potential heating outages and make new buildings uninhabitable due to lack of light, heat, and water. Ukrainian officials, however, assure that the power grid is prepared to withstand the winter, and cities like Odesa have announced the commencement of their heating season. Additionally, discussions around distributed energy generation have emerged as a potential solution to ensure homes remain warm despite the ongoing challenges.
