As Ukraine entered its fifth year of full-scale invasion, millions of people are struggling every day to keep the lights on, cook and heat their homes amid extreme winter conditions.
This fourth winter has been particularly harsh with 65 per cent of Ukraine’s energy generation capacity methodically destroyed.
Women and children are bearing the brunt of energy blackouts, which undermine their safety, protection, and economic security, according to gender agency, UN Women.
Halyna Skipalska who runs the Ukrainian Foundation for Public Health spoke to UN News’s Nathalie Minard about the growing impact of war on women and children’s mental health.
