Winter is coming.
What used to be just a line from a popular TV show is now a dire reality in Ukraine.
‼️Friends, please read this post and help spread it. It is a question of survival for Ukrainians. Please send it to anyone you know who might help.
This spring, Russia has resumed its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure with massive missile strikes and drone attacks. A lot of damage has been caused.
◾️Ukrainian DTEK energy company has lost 80% of its generation capacity as of now.
◾️Centrenergo energy company has lost 100% of its energy generation capacity.
◾️Several regions of Ukraine already have to ration electricity and introduce schedules for comsumers.
◾️In my native Kharkiv, the situation is very serious and Russian strikes leave hundreds of thousands of residents without electricity; the metro is not always working.
🔷️What this means, among other things:
◾️Hospitals won't have power (for surgeries, for example);
◾️Elevators in residential buildings won't work(so elderly people or people with disabilities won't be able to go outside);
◾️There might not be heating in many areas;
◾️Etc. etc. etc.
In general, modern life as we know it is almost impossible without electricity.
It won't be possible to rebuild or restore the power plants before winter - the equipment necessary is expensive and unique, it often has to be produced, it cannot be bought.
❗️So, Ukraine needs large-capacity generators - for hospitals, other critical infrastructure, heating points in cities and villages. Ukraine needs solar batteries as an alternative source of electricity.
If you know who to contact for this - please share or send them this post.
We need to act now to survive the next winter.
Thank you for standing with Ukraine!
