'Someone has to stay': how Ukrainian power plant workers keep the country running
The Guardian visits a Soviet-era coal-fired thermal installation to explore how it has held up to Russian attacks.
Machinery is covered in thick dark streaks of grime, the residue of heating insulation that burned and rained down on the equipment. A roof girder, 10 metres long, is impaled in the floor. Oil tanks and machines are strafed with shrapnel marks.
Russia has been systematically targeting Ukraine's energy system since the start of the full-scale war, leading to regularly scheduled blackouts and frequent emergency power cuts.
One of the power plants that are regularly targeted by Russian shelling, particularly during the winter, aiming to deprive people of electricity.
