00:00Ukraine's war isn't just fought on the battlefield, it's a war of light versus darkness.
00:05And right now, darkness is closing in fast.
00:09Russia's relentless attacks on Ukraine's power grid
00:12have left the country on the brink of collapse.
00:15Over 1,000 strikes since the war began,
00:18crippling Ukraine's energy infrastructure
00:20and making everyday life a battle for survival.
00:24With winter temperatures plunging below freezing,
00:27Ukraine needs 18 gigawatts of electricity,
00:30but it can only produce 12 to 13.
00:33Blackouts are constant, leaving millions in the dark.
00:36The country now relies on just three nuclear power complexes,
00:40but even these are in danger.
00:42Russia doesn't need to bomb them directly.
00:45Targeting key substations could force a total grid failure,
00:48shutting down nuclear plants and plunging Ukraine into chaos.
00:52The International Atomic Energy Agency is monitoring the situation,
00:56but their presence might play right into Russia's hands,
00:59forcing plant shutdowns under safety regulations.
01:03Ukraine's best hope defending its power grid like it defends its cities.
01:08With better air defense, rapid repairs, and increased energy imports,
01:12it might just keep the lights on.
01:15Because if Ukraine's grid falls, millions could flee,
01:18triggering Europe's biggest refugee crisis yet.
01:21This isn't just about energy, it's about survival.
01:25Ukraine's future depends not on megatons, but on megawatts.
01:28Will the world act in time?
