From Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv 581st day of ruzzian invasion.

It’s been unusually warm September. It still feels like summer, but a few days ago ruzzians already started targeting our energy infrastructure with massive missile/drone strikes so nobody doubts that winter will be with blackouts again. We feel a bit more prepared since we got some experience last winter of coping without electricity or with very limited electricity. Last winter, thanks to the help of many friends around the world we were able to set up all our churches with generators and small portable power stations. We definitely feel more prepared. Of course, there are still concerns about the availability of fuel for generators, water and heat in case of a complete and extended blackout. It’s unrealistic to try to prepare for every possible scenario. But for now we are blessed with summer weather during the whole month of Sep. Hopefully, October will also be dry.

We need dry and warm weather not only for civilians but especially for our military to effectively continue pushing invaders out from our land. Ruzzian defense lines have been elaborately constructed over the past few months. Frozen ground with landmines or trenches filled with water are going to make liberation of occupied territories harder and slower.
