04:29Kiev resident Karina Rezhevska on Tuesday shared concerns as electricity blackouts throughout the day have been imposed nationwide in Ukraine.
"I guess our life has changed pretty much. After the last mass shelling on Ukrainian energetic system, it became very clear that from now on, we have to adjust our lives to the fact that we have to fit all our duties in a couple of hours while we have electricity," she said.
Rezhevska went on to explain that electricity blackouts made people search for alternative power supplies as batteries, power banks, and power stations.
"I surrounded myself with different LED lights that I just connect to power banks and stuff. I keep a small [flash]light in my pocket. And it's always very crucial to put them on charge at the right time, because if I don't charge them, I may be left in the darkness, which is a bit frightful," she explained.
Rezhevska also suggested that 'the upcoming winter is going to be very hard especially for those houses, which are completely on an electrical supply system'.
"The best thing that I know right now is that I see how people are preparing themselves, and it gives me a strong feeling that we will stand no matter what," she concluded.
Ukraine's national energy company Ukrenergo in its official Telegram account issued schedules showing when electricity will be cut off.
The company explained the reason behind as reduction of power plants' capacity to produce electricity due to the consequences of attacks.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
