In the latest episode of Ukraine This Week, the Kyiv Independent’s Anna Belokur explains how martial law shapes daily life in Ukraine amid the country’s harshest winter since the full-scale invasion. As Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure leave millions without heat, water, or electricity, authorities have begun easing curfew restrictions to help civilians cope. The episode examines how curfews operate across Ukraine, why they are widely accepted, and how they are being adapted during the humanitarian crisis. It also includes on-the-ground reporting from Kyiv, where businesses and “points of invincibility” are operating through the night, and street interviews with residents navigating winter nights under martial law.
