Cold & dark: Kyiv residents prepare for 'worst winter'
Kyiv: When the power is out, as it so often is, the high-rise apartment overlooking Ukraine’s capital feels like a deathtrap. No lights, no water, no way to cook food. And the risk of not being able to escape from the 21st floor in time should a Russian missile strike. Even when electricity comes back, it’s never on for long.

“Russian strikes are plunging Ukraine into the Stone Age,” said Anastasia Pyrozhenko. In a recent 24-hour spell, her 26-storey high-rise only had power for half an hour. “We’re preparing for the worst winter of our lives,” she said.
