In Crimea, the ordinary rhythms of domestic life have been unmade by a deliberate military strategy. Ukraine has struck the peninsula's power infrastructure repeatedly, leaving residents without electricity for cooking, heating, or basic sustenance — and driving families into queues for communal hot meals.

As winter approaches, what is now hardship threatens to become something closer to crisis.
