It was already night when two workers from the electricity company stood in the basket of the extendable ladder and did everything they could to get the electricity flowing again. Here, at the “Mykolaiv Oblenergo”, the regional power station, they are repairing the high-voltage lines after their colleagues on the ground have straightened the pylons bent by Russian shells and replaced pillars shattered by bombs.
The workers are in a hurry up there, even if they can hardly see anything in the dim light of the searchlight attached to the ladder. Like many other parts of Ukraine, the village of Murakhivka, around 100 kilometers north of Cherson, is largely in darkness and people are freezing. The water supply also collapses after the Russian attacks. In many places there are only wells that cannot supply drinking water without electricity.
In the wind at the top of the ladder, the temperature feels close to freezing.
