The Kyiv Independent visited central Kyiv, where energy workers from DTEK are working on repairing damaged power lines serving a residential building amid freezing temperatures. Recent Russian attacks have left Ukraine’s energy grid severely weakened, with power overloads causing further damage and prolonged outages. Residents in the building say they have been without heating for nearly three weeks. As temperatures drop below freezing, they sleep in multiple layers and rely on gas stoves and brief periods of electricity to heat water and keep warm.

"It was cold, we were freezing, and we slept under three or four blankets." "What can we do? Endure it. Russian people are patient." 167,000 residents of Russian Angarsk, in the midst of freezing weather, when temperatures in the region dropped below -20°C, were left without heating in their apartments due to an accident at the local TPP-9 power plant. Judging by what locals say, they freeze in their homes silently and wait for a miracle. Tsar Putin spends all the money on war, he doesn't care about his people.

Freezing winter in Kyiv. Here on the left bank of the river Dnipro, in Eastern Kyiv. A city of three million people. Much of the city without electricity, without heating, without water. Over the next few days, temperatures are expected to drop to –20°C (–7°F) — and once again, Russia is expected to strike Ukraine’s power system. This is not about the battlefield. This is about civilians. Families. Elderly people. Children. Hospitals. Homes. In 21st-century Europe, a modern capital is being deliberately pushed toward darkness, cold, and unlivable conditions. And yet — Kyiv stands. Ukraine stands. Business Stands United with Ukraine

Freezing temperatures continue across Ukraine. Energy workers keep restoring power and heat 24/7. Sometimes, it's not possible - for example, about 1,100 residential buildings in Kyiv cannot receive heating because the damage to the thermal power plant from Russian attacks is too grave. That's thousands of Ukrainian families, including the sick, the elderly, the small kids and babies. We endure, adapt, share life hacks, joke, sigh - and hold on. 📷: serhiikorovayny / Instagram
