- 🥶 Children at a Kyiv gymnastics club are training in freezing temperatures due to rolling power cuts, with indoor temperatures dropping to 12 degrees Celsius.
- 💡 The club's heating system relies on electricity, and their generator only powers the lights, not the boiler, making heating impossible during blackouts.
- ⚠️ This winter is described as the hardest of the war for the club, forcing significant reductions in training sessions and duration to minimize injury risk.
