The situation in Ukraine is growing darker, literally.
For the fourth fall in a row, Russia is targeting Ukraine’s energy system. These assaults cause widespread blackouts, sometimes for days, disrupting heating, water supply, medical care, and basic communications.
Blackouts as a Weapon of War
At Razom, we see these attacks for what they are: a deliberate tool of war meant to hurt the civilian population and exhaust the will of the nation.
When the lights go out, everything becomes harder and more dangerous. The absence of reliable autonomous power critically reduces communication efficiency and response time to threats, including missile attacks and the mass use of Shahed-type kamikaze drones, whose numbers in a single strike are now counted not in dozens, but in hundreds.
Without power, hospitals struggle to keep life-saving equipment running. First responders lose critical tools and reliable communication. Communities are left in the dark, literally and figuratively, just when they need information and connection most.
How Razom Is Powering Ukraine Through Winter
That’s why part of Razom’s ongoing winter preparedness plan is to procure Ukraine-made equipment that helps communities and service members endure when the lights go out.
Our teams on the ground in Ukraine are sourcing and delivering:
- Generators to keep hospitals, clinics, and critical infrastructure powered.
- Portable power stations to help medics, volunteers, and local communities stay connected and operational under blackout conditions.
- Essential communications gear, such as radios, to help hospitals, first responders, and service members stay coordinated and mobile under fire.
Because Razom runs an in-house logistics fleet in Ukraine, every donation that goes towards procuring tech-enabled aid gets translated into real deliveries that reach the right hands – quickly and efficiently.
From the Frontlines: “Every Minute Matters”
The impact of this work is measured in lives saved.
“When several severely wounded arrive at once, every minute matters. Without power stations or generators, the equipment fails, and we can’t keep saving lives.”
— Oleksii, National Guard of Ukraine
Emergency medics at mobile stabilization points near the frontlines often work under generator and flashlight light. Their ability to stabilize and evacuate the wounded depends on having a steady power supply and reliable communications.
When power equipment fails, care fails. When equipment works, people get a second chance.
How Your Gift Helps
The need for generators, power stations, and communications gear continues to grow as attacks escalate and Russia again targets Ukraine’s energy system.
Your gift today helps us procure, deliver, and maintain the tools that keep communities and service members safe under constant threat. In practical terms, your support:
✅ Keeps frontline hospitals and clinics powered.
