Blackout
What blackouts mean in daily life:

No running water/heating in buildings
More accidents (traffic lights out)
Elderly can't leave apartments (elevators don't work). Kids climb 20 floors
People can't work
But @ frontlines Defenders get even more motivated - it's their families
Doctors performed a very complicated surgery in Kyiv without electricity on Tuesday.

The patient could have died without timely surgery.

Electricity comes back to Odesa and people rejoice!

After Russia's 15th November rocket attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, the city of Odesa was almost completely without electricity for two days.

Leerzaam draadje over het hoe en waarom van de blackouts:
hier een paar outtakes.
Why is the current energy situation in Ukraine 🇺🇦 critical in connection with missile strikes from Russia?
— Roman Kyryliuk 🇺🇦 (@KyryliukRoma) 17 november 2022
Why do we have planned power outages for hours every day?
Soon we may almost be without electricity!
Why 👉🧵🧵🧵
What happens when a Russian missile hits a power transformer, and at that moment people (400 thousand) who used electricity are left without it, and the power plant continues to generate the same power to supply the same 400 thousand people?
— Roman Kyryliuk 🇺🇦 (@KyryliukRoma) 17 november 2022
At this moment, excess power appears, which needs to be put somewhere, or this power from the power plant is still distributed to another power grid line where 200,000 people are connected.
— Roman Kyryliuk 🇺🇦 (@KyryliukRoma) 17 november 2022
In this case, all electrical equipment burns in 200 k ppl.
The same thing happens when a Russian missile hits a power plant, then the voltage that was transmitted to the transformer drops and you have 160 volts in the socket instead of 220 volts at best.

Your devices at home doesn't work properly!
When there are many more such Russian rockets hits on power lines, it becomes much more difficult to balance electricity and to continue balancing.
— Roman Kyryliuk 🇺🇦 (@KyryliukRoma) 17 november 2022
You have to turn off areas of cities one by one to save and get disbalance for other regions, cities, and plants!
This is how the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant, 2 reactors, had to be shut down for 2 and a half hours recently. Or that's why we have an immediate electricity cut-off at homes.
— Roman Kyryliuk 🇺🇦 (@KyryliukRoma) 17 november 2022
At the rate Russia will continue to bomb our infrastructure, soon we will be without electricity!
