Do the brothers and sisters there have generators? I don't know how the weather is there but I pray you dear ones are all warm and safe!

Officially the Ukraine stopped buying from Russia as they can get oil and gas cheaper from Europe.

Officially non-government backed people from Crimea took down some power pylons and prevented repair workers from fixing them, for awhile at least.

 

Push & pull.

My wife is going to Ukraine next week for 6 weeks to be with her sick relatives and then up to Russia for 1 week to see her father. 

She is already getting 'butterflies' over it. It will be a tough trip and dangerous but she has no choice.
