Dark times: what blackouts will lead to in Ukraine

The country has declared a state of emergency

On November 6, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky blamed the prolonged power and water supply outages in Kiev on the city authorities, who, according to him, did not comply with the decisions to prepare for the heating season. In turn, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, noted on November 7 that, amid the blackout in Kiev, Ukrainians were thinking about reviving the street toilet system. Medvedev commented on this idea with the words: "life is changeable."

On November 2, military expert Andrei Kolesnik drew attention to the fact that the coming winter could be harder for Ukraine than the previous one, since the existing problems with electricity there do not exclude a complete blackout in Kiev and other cities of the country.
