Many hours of power outages in Kyiv (and other Ukraine regions) after Russians bombed energy facilities. A darkish but working Auchan supermarket in a closed shopping mall was a new experience. Just a few pictures. This is how it looked from outside, no lights on the facade.

2/6

It was around 9 p.m. A calm secutity guard in a vast empty space (on the left). He told me that the supermarket works until 9:30 p.m., but probably the management will close earlier.

3/6

Freezers in frozen food section are covered to keep frost a bit longer. The power outage had been continuing for three hours when I arrived. The second picture is milk section. The third one is cheese.

4/6

I met just a few customers and employees inside. And, as I understood, the management decided to close about an hour earlier. Other shops in this mall were closed much earlier (last photo).

5/6

The power outage met me back at home, too. I made this picture when I washed my hands. The outages impact every life here in Ukraine. You plan your day always having in mind options of outage, lost internet connection, or spoiled food in your fridge.

6/6

But as soon as you reed this, the electricity is back in my apartment house. My latest experience is nothing in comparison to one of those Ukrainians who lost their family members or homes in this war. And I think about the soldiers on the front line, too.
