This is my typical day in Kyiv during a blackout and extreme cold. It's -15°C outside, there's been practically no power for 24 hours, and I'm literally adapting to the new conditions.
In this video, I show how my morning begins without power: I pack warm clothes, try to wear wool, and use flashlights and a gas burner to make life a little easier.
Today, I decided not to stay home and went to a cafe to drink hot tea and charge my phones. Before that, I had to dig my car out of the snow—it was cold and difficult, but I managed.
After the cafe, I went into town to run some errands, parked my car near the metro, and decided to take the metro—and that turned out to be a mistake. During the air raid, service between the banks of the river was suspended, and I spent over an hour on the metro. It was cold, children were crying, people were waiting and freezing.
In the end, I decided to go home. It was dark outside, the left bank was completely without power, and everything was running on generators. We managed to have a hot dinner, but the day still left a heavy feeling—not everything had been accomplished as planned.
In the evening, the power was still out. I filled my bed with hot water bottles instead of a hot-water bottle and simply lay down to rest.
This isn't a complaint or an attempt to evoke emotion. This is simply the reality of Kyiv right now and my honest blog about how we live and cope.
Thank you for being there. Take care.
