In Crimea, the ordinary rhythms of domestic life have been unmade by a deliberate military strategy.

The campaign targets systems that serve both military and civilian purposes, a distinction that collapses entirely when the lights go out across an entire region. As winter approaches, what is now hardship threatens to become something closer to crisis.
