Infrastructure, Rubble, and Resistance in the Current War

Sophie Lambroschini

The Russian military offensive is targeting the electricity, water, communication, and transport networks that make everyday life possible. In an urban environment as opposed to a rural one, where wells and wood-fueled stoves offer alternatives, the lack of power is not just an inconvenience but a matter of survival. In cities, electric power is the foundation of social order. In the port city of Mariupol the remaining population is cut off from water, heating, and the electricity people need for their most basic life functions. Municipal authorities have had to dismantle the heating systems so that the water in radiators can be used for drinking.
