While the Russian army continues to attack Ukraine's energy sector, utility systems in Russia itself are collapsing without any external intervention. Residents in several Russian regions have experienced massive power outages in the middle of winter , and are now freezing in their apartments without heat or hot water.
In Khabarovsk, thousands of people were left without heat due to a heating main failure. According to reports from the area, hot water is flooding the streets, and the damage is so severe that utility companies haven't even provided an estimated repair timeline. İt's -18 degrees Celsius at night in Khabarovsk right now.
A similar situation is observed in Bodaibo in the Irkutsk region, known in Russia as the Golden Capital of Siberia. Last year, more than 21 tons of gold were mined there. However, the town's plumbing has been unmaintained for almost the entire winter, and locals are insulating their apartments with blankets, unable to wash their clothes or take a bath. The region's wealth does not save it from worn-out networks and protracted breakdowns. The war with Ukraine is finishing off Russia's housing and utilities sector. Experts have repeatedly pointed out that public utilities in Russia remained underfunded for decades after the collapse of the USSR. Against this backdrop, the colossal expenditures on the war with Ukraine only exacerbate systemic problems. Man-made disasters, once considered the exception, are now becoming a new reality for entire cities.
Novaya Gazeta Europe counted 1,788 reports of disruptions nationwide in January compared with 983 in the same month a year earlier. Power outages were the most frequent, accounting for 723 reports, followed by heating cuts and water supply failures. Compared with January 2025, confirmed outages during freezing conditions doubled for electricity and heating, while water disruptions rose by about 50%, according to the paper’s analysis. Russia’s Belgorod region, which has been subject to regular cross-border shelling, recorded the highest number of incidents, with 143 cases over the winter. Other regions with high numbers included the Krasnodar region, the Murmansk region, the republic of Dagestan the Kaluga regionand the Ryazan region. Only about 2% of infrastructure is renewed annually, although twice that rate is needed just to halt further deterioration, lawmaker Alexander Yakubovsky has said.

Despite aging infrastructure and widespread breakdowns, the government’s three-year budget sees a gradual reduction in spending on housing and utilities. Dagestan was among the regions hardest hit by water supply failures. In the city of Kaspiysk, several apartment blocks were without water from Jan. 2 to Jan. 19, while residents of other major towns complained of similar problems on social media.

Heating disruptions were widespread in January in the Zabaikalsky region, where residents of the settlement of Atamanovka spent the New Year without heat after a pipeline accident left around 3,000 people affected for nearly a week.
