Russia is targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure during a harsh winter, causing widespread power outages and leaving millions without heating and light in major cities like Kyiv. Temperatures have remained around -15C (5F) for three weeks, exacerbating the situation. While electrical companies work to repair the damage, Russian attacks continue to cripple the power supply. In Kyiv, residents initially coped with electric heaters, but prolonged outages and brief power restorations are making homes uninhabitable. A BBC report highlights the struggles of Kyiv residents, showcasing the conditions inside an apartment with no heating or power.
