Mass Open-air Party In Kyiv During The Energy Crisis

Kyiv residents go out to dance, have a picnic, and go sledding on the frozen Dnipro River in the Rusanivka spit in Kyiv, Ukraine, on January 31, 2026. Rusanivka is one of the Kyiv districts most affected by the energy crisis. For a long period of time, electricity is cut off for many hours in residential buildings, and there is also no heating.
