As Kyiv grapples with persistent power blackouts, entire districts remain disconnected from the grid, causing traffic congestion and forcing businesses to operate on generators. The capital city struggles to manage energy demands following extensive Russian attacks on its power infrastructure.

Residents and businesses are adapting to sporadic electricity, using alternative methods like candles, power banks, and flashlights. Despite measures, the damage has left millions worried about energy availability during colder months.
