Russia’s missile and drone attacks on energy infrastructure leave cities and villages without light for hours. But Ukrainians don’t let darkness stop them.
Instead of silence and fear, other scenes appear: parents lighting up a football pitch so that kids can keep their game going; barbers cutting hair with flashlights; musicians singing on after the lights go out, refusing to let the attack interrupt the moment.
These acts reveal a spirit of a country that refuses to pause because of Russian terror. While Russia tries to disrupt normal life, the world must do everything possible to stop Russia’s aggression and achieve a just and lasting peace.
