Ukraine's power supply close to critical as Russian strikes bring darkness and cold

Ukraine faces severe power shortages due to intensified Russian strikes on its energy infrastructure, leading to widespread blackouts. Families like Daryna's in Kyiv struggle with limited electricity, often only receiving power for a few hours daily. The situation is exacerbated by ongoing missile attacks on power stations, which have left many facilities in ruins. Energy workers are risking their lives to restore power, but rebuilding efforts are hampered by constant threats. President Zelensky assures that there is enough generating capacity, but damage to infrastructure complicates distribution. Many Ukrainians are considering leaving as winter approaches, fearing the harsh conditions ahead.
