Ukrainians Innovate to Survive Winter Amid Blackouts

Ukrainians are finding innovative ways to keep their businesses operational amid ongoing winter blackouts resulting from the war with Russia. In the eastern city of Dnipro, Igor Nazarenko, the owner of an escape room, has expanded his lineup of horror-themed rooms that can function during power outages.

Nazarenko's escape rooms are designed to operate in twilight or complete darkness, allowing them to remain open despite the hours-long power interruptions caused by Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

As temperatures drop, these creative adaptations reflect the resilience of the Ukrainian population in the face of ongoing challenges.
