The members of our team in Ukraine had to face the new reality of blackouts. Often with no electricity or no stable connection to the internet, we keep working and living our lives. In this post, you can see the blackout as we experience it 🧵 Image
After series of Russian massive missile attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on October 10, October 15, November 15 and November 23, Ukrainians all over the country experience blackouts, as well as lack of water and heat supply.

During its assault on Mariupol from Feb to May 2022, the Russian army used "scorched earth" tactics, trying to capture the city at any cost, in particular, by deliberately destroying critical infrastructure and residential buildings.

Since the city is currently under full Russian occupation, there’s little information about the lives of the residents and the functioning of the infrastructure. Most reports are issued by occupation "authorities" to make and impression of the so-called "reconstruction."

Before the Russian full-scale invasion, the population was ~430k. Now, there are ~90k residents left; over 70% are pensioners. Others either became IDPs, refugees, or have been killed.
