    Three EcoFlow portable power stations are seen arranged on a floor in Kyiv, Ukraine, to provide backup electricity during a blackout. The devices are seen displaying battery levels on digital screens while one unit is seen connected to a wall outlet for charging. January 2026 has become one of the most challenging periods for the Ukrainian energy system due to relentless, massive Russian attacks, which experts and human rights advocates characterize as a deliberate and purposeful genocide aimed at eliminating the basic conditions for civilian survival amidst severe winter freezes. The intentional destruction of critical infrastructure—ranging from power generation plants to key substations—is designed to plunge the entire country into a total blackout, stripping millions of heat, water, and communication, an act that constitutes a war crime against humanity. Yet, despite the aggressor’s attempts to break the nation’s will through cold and darkness, the incredible resilience of the Ukrainian people remains unshakable. The heroic efforts of energy workers turn every hour of the struggle for power into a symbol of national resistance, proving that the inner light of Ukrainians cannot be extinguished by any missile strikes.Three EcoFlow portable power stations are seen arranged on a floor in Kyiv, Ukraine, to provide backup electricity during a blackout.
