Ukraine’s energy war just entered a harsher phase: Kyiv is functioning at roughly 50% power, and that headline alone undersells what’s happening. In this video, I’ll walk through what this “half-power” reality means on the ground, why repairs can’t simply “fix it,” and the hidden follow-on risk that turns a blackout into something much more dangerous. This isn’t just about electricity—it’s about timing, pressure, and whether emergency support can arrive fast enough to prevent cascading failures.
