Amid ongoing Russian attacks on energy infrastructure and severe cold, Ukrainians are coming up with the most inventive ways to stay warm at home. In one apartment, a homemade heater was fashioned from fragments of a Russian “Grad” rocket and heated on a kitchen stove. Video: Kyiv Post

How is the situation in Kyiv? Not very good. It is very cold, currently minus 8°C, dropping to minus 15°C at night, and ice is everywhere. Kyiv is now living with power outages of up to 20 hours a day. Some buildings have no power at all. As of now, almost 60% of the capital is without power. The heating situation in Kyiv is critical - 4,200 apartment buildings are currently without heating, and it will take weeks to restore heating in some of them. That is, provided there are no new strikes. Kyivvodokanal reported that the capital's water supply has been fully restored. At the same time, water is supplied to the upper floors of high-rises by separate booster pumps, which do not work without electricity, so there may be no water there if there is no electricity. Russia is killing and torturing the civilian population in an attempt to render Kyiv uninhabitable. 📹: oleof05/TikTok

Don’t look away. Due to the lack of electricity and heating in some areas of Kyiv, people are experiencing burst pipes and radiators. Some residents are trying to pour the water leaking from the radiators straight out of their windows. russia continues its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure every day.

"As a resident of Lviv, I ask that half of our electricity be taken from us and given to the people of Odesa. Thank you." Many residents of Odesa have been without electricity for six days now, and some are also without heating and water, following a Russian attack on the city on December 13. Online, messages and comments of support for Odesa are spreading. Many people send charged powerbanks to Odesa or invite people to stay with them. I’ve put together a compilation of videos showing how Odesa residents are coping with the lack of electricity with creativity and good spirits.

1/2 As of today in Ukraine, thousands of apartment buildings continue to go without stable heating. In cities most affected by russian strikes on infrastructure, such as Kherson, indoor temperatures are dropping to +8...+10 °C (46 °F). This is the exact threshold at which both human health and the integrity of buildings and furniture begin to deteriorate. This week, meteorologists say a new wave of cold will sweep across Ukraine. Freezing temperatures are expected nationwide, both day and night, with lows potentially reaching -15… -20 °C (-4 °F). I believe the russians will continue to test both our infrastructure and the resilience of people in the cities.

🥵 It's so hot in Poland that people are frying eggs outdoors In Warsaw, a woman left a frying pan in the sun and, after a while, cooked an egg on it. Poland is in the grip of an extreme heatwave, with temperatures approaching 40°C in some areas. On the bright side, you can save on electricity and cook breakfast right on your balcony.

Yurii showed the conditions in which he and his wife are surviving through the winter on the first floor of a residential building in Kyiv. No electricity, hot water, or heating. The average temperature in the apartment is about 3°C. Yurii sleeps in warm clothes and walks around in felt boots. Despite temperatures dropping to -20°C and below, the couple say they have no choice but to stay home and adapt to the conditions. 📹: novyny. live / Instagram

We are preparing for another trip with our Mobile Unbreakable centers, "Mitzvotanks," to help people who have been left without electricity and heat due to russian attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure. To understand, the temperature in Ukraine is currently reaching -21 °C/ -5.8 °F. And unfortunately, it could get even colder! Imagine how cold it is in Ukraine right now if fuel is freezing in cars. What can be said then about cold apartments and houses where small children live, where elderly people live? Please do not stop supporting and helping Ukraine. I pray G-d will perform a miracle for us!

Russia is freezing Ukraine and doesn't care about its own citizens. In January, there were more than 1,700 reports of accidents in Russia that left people without electricity, gas, and water, according to Novaya Gazeta Europe. In the first month of 2026, there were 723 reports of power outages, 552 reports of heating outages, and 513 reports of water outages. A total of 1,778 cases were publicly reported, compared to 983 in January 2025. Belgorod (143) and Murmansk (105) regions and the Krasnodar Krai (138 cases) are among the leaders. Residents go without water for weeks, melting snow to obtain it; they store food from defrosted refrigerators outside, live in apartments where the temperature is only 10°C, warm themselves with gas stoves, and stock up on generators. The key reason is equipment deterioration. Deterioration of networks in Russia has reached an average of 40%, and in some regions as high as 80%, leading to frequent breakdowns. At the same time, only 2% of the infrastructure is renewed annually, although twice as much is needed just to halt deterioration, Russian officials say. Instead of making the lives of his people better, Putin chooses to spend billions on making Ukrainian lives hell. 📹: residents of Russian Engels are begging Russian authorities for help as they have no heating and hot water in extreme cold. Ironically, Engels has the airfield from which Russian strategic aviation takes off to attack Ukrainian energy infrastructure and plunge Ukraine into cold and darkness.

Ukraine’s Energy Ministry showed how the country’s energy system is being restored after massive Russian attacks. Each time Russia tries to plunge people into darkness, cold, and fear, Ukrainian energy workers, utility crews, railway staff, and rescuers move in immediately to repair the damage. Despite repeated strikes on critical infrastructure, restoration work continues around the clock to bring electricity and heat back to homes and essential services. #Ukraine

Kyiv continues to battle a humanitarian crisis caused by russian attacks on critical infrastructure. In the freezing cold, people are left without heat or electricity. They gather at aid centers to find warmth, support, and a chance to recharge in all senses. Proud of my capital!

The situation in Kyiv remains very complicated. About 800,000 people have no electricity in their homes as of last night. Those luckier to have electricity only see it for several hours a day (and often, no electricity means no heating and water). In Desniansky district, a very densely populated residential area, there is no heating. A lot of residents had less than 30 minutes of electricity in the past two days. Large tents are installed in the district so people can spend nights in relative warmth and have some hot food. However, for many elderly people leaving their apartments is virtually impossible without an elevator. Social services do their best to deliver hot food to them once a day. The long and harsh Ukrainian winter continues. Russia is already planning new attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

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.
