Liubov Palii was sitting at her computer when the lights went off in her one-bedroom apartment after Russian strikes pummeled Ukraine's energy network.

She started to play with her four-month-old baby boy, Vova, by the light of her mobile phone.

“(When blackout happens), we just play together in the bed, lay together, I light the candles and turn flashlight on my phone,” she said.

“I couldn't take a shower or bathe my baby, because I can’t do this in the darkness with a torch... Just a small wash.”

Families like Palii are bracing for a harsh winter after Russian missiles and drones rained on cities across Ukraine this week, hitting power plants and electricity stations and damaging around 30% of the country's energy infrastructure.

While she was pregnant, Palii's family had already fled the advancing Russian occupation in the southern Kherson region and moved to Kyiv in April. Through tears, she explained that while no part of the country was safe, it had been less scary in the capital than in Moscow-controlled territory.

“But it’s not that scary in Kyiv because all my close ones are near. My mom is here. It was very frightening then, when my mom was there and I was there (in Kherson). I didn’t know… In the first days especially.”

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's government said power had been restored to millions of people, but warned Ukrainians to prepare for more blackouts and asked people to cut down on their electricity use wherever possible.

Russian missiles and drones struck Ukrainian targets 128 times over three days this week, hitting 28 energy installations, the Ukraine government said. Moscow has denied targeting civilians.

This will undoubtedly have no solution. Weapons can be delivered to Ukraine but not power yet

The video starts with a woman lighting a candle cos she has no power. But out the window you can clearly see the power is on in other apartments. Cool propaganda though.
