What could be worse than war? Now Ukrainians understand: war without electricity is worse. Suddenly, modern technologies turn into nothing; the greatest achievements of civilization lose their meaning. Opinion by Julia Marich
, our country engulfed by darkness after massive Russian missile attacks on our energy infrastructure.
Now Ukrainians understand: war without electricity is worse. Suddenly, modern technologies turn into nothing; the greatest achievements of civilization lose their meaning. Fuel, candles and firewood — these are what have value today. It is difficult to buy things in shops and pharmacies. Everyone uses digital accounting, but it is impossible to scan goods without electricity. In the absence of the internet, you can’t pay by credit card. Everyone needs to have cash, so long queues form near functioning ATMs.
It has been gloomy outside for the last three weeks, with no sun at all. There is a lack of illumination inside and out. When the power flickers on, I have a great temptation to turn every light on.
