Russian attacks on Ukraine's power infrastructure have caused widespread outages across Kyiv during sub-zero temperatures. Some 2,600 high-rise buildings were still without heating on January 22. Many residents are leaving the city to secure heat, electricity and water. Anastasia, her husband and two children moved to her parents' dacha with a gas boiler and a diesel generator, using well water and generator-powered pumps for electricity and water. Her husband, an energy engineer, commutes to Kyiv on icy highways, taking up to two hours. Other families are relocating to discounted hotels in western regions, and most schools have extended the winter break.
