Kateryna Serzhan says the only way to survive Ukraine’s almost daily blackout schedule is to “always have a plan B.”
The 35-year-old has had to adapt to life in her high-rise Kyiv apartment block with her active 3-year-old daughter, Varia.
Going out to play involves hiking back up 15 flights of stairs carrying her now 17 kg (37 lb) child. They tend to take a ball instead of a bicycle for those days, she jokes.

Living with daily blackouts must require serious improvisation skills. Props to Kateryna for always having a backup plan! 
Hopefully, things get more stable soon for her and Varia.
