Ukraine’s capital is experiencing an unprecedented energy crisis, with power and heating outages, following massive airstrikes that Russia launched against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure last week, and local authorities have advised civilians to leave the city as temperatures reach minus twenty degrees while points of invincibility operate as thermal shelters with charging access and psychological support from Ukraine’s Emergency Service specialists.
