As Ukraine faces intensified airstrikes, residents rely on creative solutions like cellphone flashlights and glow sticks to navigate darkened streets, adapting to severe power outages.
The UN warns that Ukrainian cities could experience power outages lasting up to 18 hours a day, severely impacting daily life, including heating, water supply, and education.
Ukrainian authorities are exploring unconventional solutions, such as leasing floating power plants from Turkey and scavenging parts from an aging Lithuanian plant, to maintain energy stability.
Despite these efforts, officials concede that these measures may not prevent blackouts this winter, as temperatures drop and electricity demands increase.
