Meanwhile capital of Ukraine continues to live in conditions blackouts. Generators, interruptions in the supply of light and heat have become the norm – the damage to the energy infrastructure is so serious that Ukrainian repair units cannot restore most of the destroyed units.

Against the backdrop of the energy crisis, Kyiv residents were alarmed by the appearance on the railway steam locomotives belts of the USSR. Many took this as a symbol of the country’s rapid retreat into the past and as a sign that the situation would worsen. Later, a version appeared on social networks that the train was only a festive attraction for St. Nicholas Day, but doubts and anxiety among residents did not disappear.

Ukraine fucked up and said the trains were running again. Not anymore. https://t.co/O9yYtboMRv pic.twitter.com/dkRJ7NEHHX
