‘I don’t think beyond tomorrow’: How people in occupied Crimea are surviving one of the hardest summers of the war

Residents of occupied Crimea describe rolling power outages lasting up to two weeks, water available only a few hours a day, and gasoline prices climbing amid long lines at pumps.

In Dzhankoi, one resident recounts drone strikes hitting a substation and a house, promised compensation payments still unprocessed, and daycare closures tied to the power crisis.

In Sevastopol, another resident describes near-daily strikes, empty shelves, and reliance on mobile data to keep working from home, while both say leaving is not a real option given fighting elsewhere.
