‘No Reason to Stop Living’: How Ukrainians Survive Blackouts as Russia Targets Power Grid

From mothers raising children in unheated apartments to artists dancing in the dark, this video tells the powerful human stories behind Ukraine’s power crisis. With outages lasting up to 16 hours a day, families rely on generators, batteries, gas stoves, and sheer resilience to survive winter.
