Residents of Donbas prepare for winter blackouts

STORY: 31-year-old medical worker Roman Penushnyi told Reuters on Friday (November 25) that his only source of heating is and will be fire wood:

"(I'm) preparing wood, sawing our maple trees while they are still growing. The winter will be hard. The roof is leaking, we don't have enough logs. This is how we survive."

In Kramatorsk, housewife Anastasiia Burak has equipped her kitchen with an electric stove and kindling tablets that she lights up when there's neither electricity nor gas:

"...when there’s no power, we try to be prepared on a basic level so that we can warm up soup for example. And while there is (still) no gas, I have purchased this small electrical stove."
