"We're safe, there's a nuclear power plant here, they won't shoot, they don't want to mess with it," thought residents of Enerhodar, a Ukrainian city where staff operating Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station live.

New infographic 📊

Using open-source data and information collected from our readers, we visualised an average number of power outages per day in two Ukrainian cities, Kyiv & Lviv, in the past three months to see when Russia's mass rocket and drone strikes caused the darkest periods.

Since different datasets cover different periods, they do not represent a complete situation. To see the details for each data set, check out the interactive gallery on our website.
