According to the celebrity, when she was a child, in her native city of Kerch, electricity was also turned off from time to time in order to save money.
The famous Ukrainian TV presenter Maria Yefrosinina recalled her childhood in Kerch. As the celebrity said, in 1992, they practiced power cuts there for the purpose of saving money. But the events at that time and today’s realities are not at all comparable.
“It is turned off every day: in the worst case, at 6 p.m., when the parents have not yet returned (then you must run to the elevator and knock and shout to see if they are stuck), or around 8 p.m., then you can still have dinner together with family. , as a rule, they were turned off during dinner. And dad lit a kerosene lamp, and mom took out cubes of dry alcohol and cooked food on it… My sister and I were wrapped in our parents’ coat – I put on one sleeve, Lisa – the other, and we sat like that.” , – Efrosinina shared on her Instagram blog.
She admitted that until February 24, during power outages, she often remembered those evenings in a coat and under a kerosene lamp, but she could not even think that much harsher realities awaited her and all Ukrainians ahead:
“Every time I said to myself: “God, how cool that it was just a shield knocked out, or an accident of some kind for a couple of hours! How good that this horror with constant darkness and cold is behind us.” But it turned out that it was not a horror! where everything was forgotten. But what is it, those times seem like an adventure compared to what every Ukrainian goes through today.”
Power outage in Ukraine
Since October, Russia has launched massive missile attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine in order to leave Ukrainians without electricity for the winter. Initially, emergency shutdowns were introduced for 2-6 hours, but when the situation worsened, lights began to be turned off for longer periods in all areas.
For example, after a massive rocket attack on November 23, electricity was lost for several days in many regions. Then theater and film actress Olga Sumska showed how she cooked soup on a gas tourist stove.
