Welcome to winter in Kyiv, 2026.
According to reports, residents of the Ukrainian capital are being given detailed instructions on how to survive the winter if the water, heating and sewage systems fail.
The recommendations read more like a survival guide than a guide to modern European beer: sealing windows with plastic sheets, insulating rooms with old carpets, storing drinking water, keeping warm under blankets and even preparing disposable bags in case the sewage system stops functioning.
People are also advised to consider portable toilets, adult diapers, carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers.
There are even guidelines for filtering drinking water, washing without running water and safe disposal of human waste.
