Ukrainians prepare firewood and candles to brace for a winter of Russian strikes on the energy grid

In the humble backyard of a destroyed house, a 13-year-old chops firewood to get ready for winter. For the Yarema family, like millions of other Ukrainians touched by Russia’s war on Ukraine, winter is an especially challenging time. “I have a feeling that when the cold sets in, they’ll start bombing again,” the woman said, echoing the sentiments of many Ukrainians.
