No light, no heat, no water: the third winter of war has begun for Ukraine. Russian attacks have recently deliberately destroyed the energy infrastructure. How are people dealing with this? Lisa and her family live on the 22nd floor of a high-rise building in the middle of Kiev. Their apartment rarely has electricity. On the higher floors there is hardly any running water because the electric pump has broken down. Lisa often has to carry her two-and-a-half-year-old son up the stairs because the elevator is not working. In the few hours with electricity, she does her housework and cooks for the little one. And hospitals and schools? Some now have solar panels so they can operate independently of nuclear power. But is that enough? How well is Ukraine prepared for the rest of the winter?
