‘When will it be over?’: Desperate Ukrainian civilians trapped on the front line
Recent Russian missile attacks on power plants across Ukraine threaten cities with blackouts, but many front-line communities have been under shellfire and without power or water for months.

One of them, Oleksandra Pylypenko, is housebound because her husband, sick with lung cancer, "can't even make it to the basement" to hide.
