A 56-year-old former soldier in the Soviet army is one of hundreds of energy workers working to restore power in freezing conditions. Ukrainian energy crews are battling to save the country's electricity grid from collapse as it faces a wave of missile attacks combined with extreme winter weather. Workers describe being in 'survival mode' as they attempt to repair critical infrastructure faster than it can be destroyed.
